Network-reachable endpoint, low complexity, but requires a valid restricted API key so PR:L; confidentiality-only disclosure of cross-tenant visit data gives C:H, I:N, A:N.

Shlink through 5.1.6 fails to enforce API key role restrictions when issuing Mercure subscription tokens, allowing restricted keys to subscribe to all topics. Attackers with author-only or domain-only keys can access the mercure-info endpoint to receive visit data including referrer, user agent, geolocation, and full short URL objects for URLs outside their authorization boundary.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in Shlink through 5.1.6 allows an attacker who already holds a role-restricted API key (author-only or domain-only) to read visit analytics - referrer, user agent, geolocation and full short-URL objects - for links outside that key's authorization boundary. The mercure-info endpoint mints a Mercure subscription JWT without applying the API key's role restrictions, so the scoped credential can subscribe to every topic rather than only its own. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must already possess a valid but role-restricted Shlink API key (an author-only or domain-only key) - this is the core prerequisite and the primary limiter, meaning exploitation is confined to actors who have been provisioned a scoped credential (multi-tenant or delegated deployments). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine but bounded confidentiality-only authorization flaw. … 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 | Patch availability is not confirmed from the provided data - no fixed release version is given by the vendor or in the references, which point only to issue https://github.com/shlinkio/shlink/issues/2633 - so track that issue and the https://github.com/shlinkio/shlink repository for the first release after 5.1.6 that applies the API key's role restrictions when minting Mercure subscription tokens, then upgrade. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Shlink instances and confirm which are running 5.1.6 or earlier, then determine whether Mercure real-time updates are configured and enabled; if they are enabled and not business-critical, disable the Mercure integration or block the mercure-info endpoint at the reverse proxy, API gateway, or WAF, and audit every role-restricted API key (author-only and domain-only) to revoke unused or stale keys and rotate those that must remain active. …
