Technical details

An authorization bypass exists in the streamFileToResponse function of the Kobo download endpoint (GET /api/kobo/{token}/v1/books/{bookId}/download) due to missing library-level access control validation. A user with the syncKobo permission and knowledge of arbitrary book IDs can download EPUB or CBX files from libraries to which they are not assigned. The same validateBookContentAccess check used in OPDS and Komga paths is absent in the Kobo path, allowing the vulnerability to bypass intended multi-library access restrictions.
