Details
Summary
CVE-2024-23649 is a vulnerability found in Lemmy, a link aggregator and forum for the fediverse. Versions 0.17.0 to 0.19.1 are affected by this issue. The vulnerability allows users to report private messages, even if they are not the sender or recipient of the message. The API response to creating a private message report includes the private message itself, enabling any user to obtain all private messages on the instance by iterating over message ids. This poses a potential danger to organizations as sensitive information could be exposed. To remediate this vulnerability, the API method should be restricted to accessible recipients only, preventing unauthorized access to private messages.
