CVE-2026-85605: Missing Authorization in andrii-kryvoviaz slink
Description
Slink before 1.12.3 fails to properly authorize access to image comment endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read comment threads via GET /api/image/{imageId}/comments and server-sent-events subscriptions. Attackers who obtain image IDs out of band can retrieve full comment threads on public images and subscribe to live comment updates without authentication or authorization checks.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-85605 describes a missing authorization vulnerability in the andrii-kryvoviaz slink product prior to version 1.12.3. The issue allows unauthenticated attackers to access image comment threads and subscribe to live comment updates by exploiting the GET /api/image/{imageId}/comments endpoint and server-sent-events subscriptions. Attackers must obtain image IDs by other means to exploit this vulnerability. No authentication or authorization checks are performed, leading to unauthorized data disclosure.
Potential Impact
Unauthenticated attackers can read full comment threads on public images and subscribe to live comment updates without any authorization. This results in unauthorized disclosure of potentially sensitive comment data. There is no indication of privilege escalation or code execution, but confidentiality of comment data is compromised.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are provided. Until a patch is available, restrict access to image IDs and monitor for unauthorized access attempts to comment endpoints.
