Authenticated metadata disclosure via missing share-link authorization
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Missing authorization in Pydio Cells 5.0.0 through 5.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to read share-link metadata via GET /a/share/link/{Uuid}. SharesHandler.GetShareLink in idm/share/rest/handler.go reads the workspace UUID from the path, calls LinkById, and returns the object without the READ-policy MatchPolicies check enforced by the sibling GetCell handler; downstream GetLinkWorkspace also sends SearchWorkspace with no ResourcePolicyQuery, so the workspace service applies no policy filter. Any standard account that learns a workspace UUID from a public share page's START_REPOSITORY value can recover link hashes, URLs, owners, target users, limits, expiry, and password-required state, but not read the shared node itself.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
