4.3 MEDIUM

Remote and low-complexity but requires an authenticated user context (PR:L); the read-only instancePeers endpoint discloses a low-sensitivity peer list, so C:L and I/A:N (correcting vendor's VI:L to a confidentiality impact).

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires reaching the Pixelfed /api/v1 instancePeers endpoint with an authenticated user context that lacks a valid OAuth access token (PR:L) - the pre-patch code only verified `$request->user()` existed, not that a proper OAuth token was present. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite the 'Authentication Bypass'/CWE-306 framing. … 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 Vendor-released patch: 0.12.10 (GitHub PR 6774, commit 68dca5097305fa0065d029587b2233524636025a, release https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/releases/tag/v0.12.10). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
