DescriptionCVE.org

TREK is a collaborative travel planner. From 3.0.0 until 3.1.0, the GET /api/journeys/:id/share-link route in server/src/routes/journey.ts returns the result of getJourneyShareLink() from server/src/services/journeyShareService.ts without checking whether the authenticated requester can access the journey. Any ordinary authenticated user can enumerate sequential journey IDs and retrieve tokens from journey_share_tokens for another user's journey. The token grants unauthenticated access through GET /api/public/journey/:token to the shared journey's entries, captions, locations, moods, gallery photos, photo paths, and asset identifiers. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.0.

AnalysisAI

Share-link token theft in TREK versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.x allows any ordinary authenticated user to exfiltrate private journey data belonging to other users. By iterating sequential journey IDs against the unguarded GET /api/journeys/:id/share-link endpoint, an attacker retrieves valid share tokens for journeys they do not own; those tokens then grant unauthenticated read access to the victim's travel entries, captions, GPS locations, moods, gallery photos, photo file paths, and asset identifiers via the public endpoint GET /api/public/journey/:token. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate with any valid TREK account
Delivery
Send GET /api/journeys/{id}/share-link iterating sequential IDs
Exploit
Collect share tokens for journeys owned by other users
Execution
Access GET /api/public/journey/{stolen-token} without authentication
Impact
Read victim's journey entries, GPS locations, moods, captions, and gallery photo paths

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid authenticated TREK user account on the target instance - any ordinary registered user qualifies, as no elevated role or admin privilege is needed (CVSS PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N is consistent with the description: the attack is network-reachable, requires no special conditions (AC:L), demands only a low-privilege authenticated account (PR:L), needs no victim interaction, and yields high confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability impact, producing a 6.5 medium base score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with any valid TREK account sends authenticated GET requests iterating /api/journeys/1/share-link, /api/journeys/2/share-link, and so on, collecting share tokens for journeys they do not own. They then make unauthenticated GET requests to /api/public/journey/{stolen-token} to read the victims' travel entries, GPS waypoints, mood logs, and gallery photo URLs - all without requiring the victims to take any action. …
Remediation Upgrade to TREK version 3.1.0, available at https://github.com/liketrek/TREK/releases/tag/v3.1.0; this is the vendor-confirmed fix per the GitHub security advisory GHSA-mx6m-qxv8-w624 and commit ad893eb1cc75b6d56f402d73a6d41bd48ba7ae11 (https://github.com/liketrek/TREK/commit/ad893eb1cc75b6d56f402d73a6d41bd48ba7ae11). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
