Official description

immich is a high performance self-hosted photo and video management solution. Prior to version 2.6.0, the Immich application is vulnerable to credential disclosure when a user authenticates to a shared album. During the authentication process, 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. This issue has been patched in version 2.6.0.
