CVE-2026-25118 immich-app CVE debrief

Immich, a high-performance self-hosted photo and video management solution, is vulnerable to credential disclosure when a user authenticates to a shared album. The application transmits the album password within the URL query parameters in a GET request to /api/shared-links/me, exposing the password in browser history, proxy and server logs, and referrer headers. This issue allows unintended disclosure of authentication credentials, potentially compromising shared album access and exposing sensitive user data. Users of Immich version prior to 2.6.0 who use shared albums should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to protect their credentials.

Who should care

Users of Immich version prior to 2.6.0 who use shared albums should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to protect their credentials. This includes upgrading to Immich version 2.6.0 or later, using secure authentication methods for shared albums, and monitoring server logs and proxy logs for potential credential disclosure.

Technical summary

Immich, a high-performance self-hosted photo and video management solution, is vulnerable to credential disclosure. Prior to version 2.6.0, when a user authenticates to a shared album, the application transmits the album password within the URL query parameters in a GET request to /api/shared-links/me. This exposes the password in browser history, proxy and server logs, and referrer headers, allowing unintended disclosure of authentication credentials. The impact of this vulnerability is the potential compromise of shared album access and unauthorized exposure of sensitive user data.

Defensive priority

Medium priority due to the potential for credential disclosure and unauthorized access to shared albums.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Upgrade to Immich version 2.6.0 or later
  • Use secure authentication methods for shared albums
  • Monitor server logs and proxy logs for potential credential disclosure
  • Consider implementing additional security measures such as two-factor authentication
  • Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
  • Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
  • Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
