Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/cloudreve/Cloudreve/v4 (CVE-2026-55496). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via GET /api/v4/user/search. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.0.0-20260613023921-7e1289d55279 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
GET /api/v4/user/search is available to any logged-in user. The service calls userClient.SearchActive, but despite its name that method filters only by email/nickname keyword and never adds a StatusActive predicate — while the sibling lookups GetActiveByID and GetActiveByDavAccount, defined a few lines above it, do. Search hits are serialized at RedactLevelUser, which includes the email address.
A normal logged-in user can therefore enumerate and retrieve the email (plus nickname, avatar, creation time, redacted group, profile share-visibility) of inactive and banned accounts that an active-user directory is supposed to suppress. No global status interceptor compensates — the only User query interceptor is soft-delete, and inactive/banned rows are not soft-deleted.
Details
Root cause (verified at 26b6b10)
1. Route — logged-in + UserInfo.Read scope (routers/router.go):
user := v4.Group("user") // protected user group (login required)
user.GET("search",
middleware.RequiredScopes(types.ScopeUserInfoRead),
controllers.FromQuery[usersvc.SearchUserService](...), controllers.UserSearch)
The RequiredScopes check applies to scoped OAuth tokens; plain session requests are not gated by it — so any logged-in user reaches the search.
2. Service — 2-char keyword to SearchActive (service/user/info.go):
type SearchUserService struct { Keyword string `form:"keyword" binding:"required,min=2"`…
