Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions beyond the feature being in use - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of Admidio versions before 5.0.16, by sending an HTTP request to the weblinks RSS endpoint (rss/links.php) for a target organization. The only practical limiting factors are: (1) the affected organization must actually use restricted LNK (weblink) categories whose visibility is scoped to specific roles, otherwise there is no sensitive data to leak; (2) the RSS/weblinks feed must be reachable by the attacker (an internet-exposed or otherwise accessible Admidio instance). No authentication, user interaction, or non-default setting is required to trigger the flaw itself.

Impact

This is a genuine but moderate-severity exposure rather than a top-priority emergency. The input CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) is internally consistent with the description: a remote, unauthenticated attacker can reach the RSS endpoint over the network with low complexity and no user interaction, but impact is confined to a limited confidentiality loss (VC:L) with no integrity or availability effect - matching CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) and the information-disclosure nature of the flaw. No CVSS 3.1 vector was supplied in the input; the signals are coherent, with no contradiction between the network vector and the described unauthenticated HTTP request. No EPSS score, SSVC decision, KEV listing, or explicit POC reference was provided, so exploitation-likelihood signals are absent rather than conflicting. The 6.9 score is driven by easy, unauthenticated reachability, not by severe impact - the data exposed is role-restricted link metadata, not credentials or system control. Priority should be treated as 'patch in normal cycle' for most, escalating only for organizations that place sensitive information in restricted LNK (weblink) categories. EPSS is unavailable, so widespread-exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the provided data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with no account simply requests the weblinks RSS feed (rss/links.php) for a target Admidio organization over the internet. Because the endpoint omits the category_view role-visibility filter, the response discloses names, URLs, descriptions, categories, and creator names of weblinks that were meant to be restricted to specific roles. No public exploit was identified in the provided data, but the attack requires only a crafted HTTP GET request, so weaponization is trivial.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 17, 2026

Admidio before 5.0.16 discloses the names, URLs, descriptions, categories, and creator names of role-restricted weblinks to unauthenticated remote users through the rss/links.php RSS feed. The endpoint omits the category_view role-visibility filter, so anyone who can reach an organization's weblinks feed can read metadata from LNK categories that should be limited to specific roles; the vendor CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9, while the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment rates confidentiality impact Low (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and practical exposure depends on the target organization actually using restricted weblink categories and the RSS endpoint being reachable.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 5.0.16. Upgrade Admidio to version 5.0.16 or later, which applies the category_view role-visibility filter to the rss/links.php feed, and refer to the advisory at https://github.com/Admidio/admidio/security/advisories/GHSA-552r-jc93-7qr3 for vendor details. If upgrading cannot be done immediately, restrict access to rss/links.php at the web server or reverse proxy so only trusted networks or authenticated users can reach it, or disable the weblinks RSS feed entirely if it is not needed; blocking the endpoint removes the legitimate feed capability for all users, while network restriction reduces exposure but can inconvenience legitimate subscribers. Because exploitation requires no authentication and the independent assessment confirms the vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, do not rely on authentication alone as a compensating control.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Admidio is a PHP-based membership and organization management application in which weblinks are organized into LNK categories whose visibility can be scoped to specific roles through a category_view setting. The RSS feed handler rss/links.php generates a weblinks feed but does not enforce that same category-level role-visibility check, a CWE-862 Missing Authorization condition in which a secondary code path omits an access control applied elsewhere. Because the feed includes link names, URLs, descriptions, category data, and creator names, restricted metadata is exposed to any unauthenticated requester who can access the endpoint. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:admidio:admidio:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product family across versions before the 5.0.16 fix; the issue is an information disclosure only, with no code execution, data modification, or SQL injection component indicated.

DescriptionCVE.org

Admidio before 5.0.16 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to view role-restricted weblinks because rss/links.php omits the category_view role-visibility filter. Attackers can request the weblinks RSS feed for an organization to retrieve link names, URLs, descriptions, categories, and creator names from restricted LNK categories.

Attack Technique

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
