Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Audiobookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server. Prior to 2.32.2, the GET /api/collections and GET /api/collections/:id endpoints return collections from all libraries without checking whether the requesting user has access to each collection's library. An authenticated user with access to any library can enumerate and read collections (including full book metadata) from libraries they are explicitly restricted from accessing. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.32.2.
AnalysisAI
Audiobookshelf prior to version 2.32.2 fails to enforce library access controls on the GET /api/collections and GET /api/collections/:id endpoints, allowing authenticated users to enumerate and retrieve collection metadata and book information from libraries they are not authorized to access. An attacker with valid credentials to any library can exploit this privilege escalation to discover sensitive metadata across all libraries in a multi-library installation.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Authentication is required; an attacker must possess valid Audiobookshelf credentials with access to at least one library. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 4.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N reflects a network-accessible privilege escalation requiring valid authentication but no user interaction, with confidentiality impact limited to unauthorized information disclosure. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated user logs into Audiobookshelf with access to a single 'Public Library' collection. The attacker crafts HTTP GET requests to /api/collections and /api/collections/:id, and receives detailed metadata including book titles, authors, descriptions, and cover art from restricted libraries like 'Premium Library' or 'Private Podcasts' that their account has no permission to view. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Audiobookshelf to version 2.32.2 or later immediately to receive the authorization fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
