Description
Admidio before 5.0.16 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to view role-restricted weblinks because rss/links.php omits the category_view role-visibility filter. Attackers can request the weblinks RSS feed for an organization to retrieve link names, URLs, descriptions, categories, and creator names from restricted LNK categories.

AI Analysis

Impact

Admidio installations older than version 5.0.16 contain a flaw that lets unauthenticated users query the rss/links.php endpoint and receive an RSS feed with weblinks that belong to restricted categories. Because the server does not apply the category_view role visibility filter, the feed reveals link names, URLs, descriptions, categories, and the creators of those links. This exposure of role‑restricted content satisfies the missing authorization weakness identified as CWE‑862.

Affected Systems

Admidio community installations running any version earlier than 5.0.16 are susceptible. The affected product is the Admidio application as identified by the CNA authority and the corresponding CPE.

Risk and Exploitability

Exploitation requires only an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to the rss/links.php URL. The CVSS score of 6.9 classifies the vulnerability as medium severity, and the lack of any authentication check lowers the attack barrier. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no known widespread exploitation at present. However, the ease of access and the exposure of privileged data suggest a moderate to high risk for organizations that rely on role‑based visibility for sensitive links.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Admidio to version 5.0.16 or later to re‑implement the category_view filter.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, block external access to rss/links.php with firewall rules or implement authentication so only authorized users can request the feed.
  • Apply any vendor‑supplied configuration changes that enforce role visibility checks on RSS feeds as a temporary control.
