CVE-2026-33954LinkAce discloses private notesto unauthorized authenticated users via the web link detail page
Medium 6.5
In plain English
A medium-severity security flaw in LinkAce from Kovah. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.3% (higher than 26% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
LinkAce is a self-hosted archive to collect website links. In versions prior to 2.5.3, a private note attached to a non-private link can be disclosed to a different authenticated user via the web interface. The API appears to correctly enforce note visibility, but the web link detail page renders notes without applying equivalent visibility filtering. As a result, an authenticated user who is allowed to view another user's `internal` or `public` link can read that user's `private` notes attached to the link. Version 2.5.3 patches the issue.
