Technical details

The vulnerability is an access control bypass in Immich through version 3.1.0 affecting the single-asset endpoint. When assets are locked through this endpoint, the locked visibility restriction is not properly enforced for assets already included in shared albums or public links. An unauthenticated attacker can access these locked assets by using any previously-created shared album or link, reading both the asset files and associated metadata. The issue occurs because the access control logic fails to check asset lock status when serving content through shared access paths.
