Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
gonic versions before 0.22.0 fail to validate administrator privileges in the startScan endpoint, allowing any authenticated user to trigger media library rescans. Attackers can repeatedly call the startScan endpoint to force CPU and I/O-intensive filesystem operations, causing denial of service on multi-user instances.
AnalysisAI
Missing authorization on the Subsonic startScan endpoint in gonic before v0.22.0 permits any authenticated user - not just administrators - to repeatedly trigger CPU- and I/O-intensive media library filesystem scans. Multi-user gonic instances are the meaningful target: an attacker with a regular account can flood the endpoint to exhaust server resources and deny service to all users. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session as any gonic user account (PR:L) - no administrator privileges are needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L) accurately captures the moderate real-world severity: exploitation is trivial in terms of complexity but is gated on possessing a valid user account, limiting the threat to insider or compromised-account scenarios. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to gonic v0.22.0 or later, which adds the missing admin privilege check to the startScan endpoint handler (commit 2376c61). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
