Instance Owners: Do Not Use Lemmy-Thumbnail-Cleaner
If you are using https://github.com/wereii/lemmy-thumbnail-cleaner please stop and disable it as soon as possible.
We have found a security issue that allows any user to make LTC delete any locally hosted image.
I will be posting more details soon and editing this to include the information.
E: More information here https://github.com/wereii/lemmy-thumbnail-cleaner/issues/10
Ah. So Lemmy with version 0.19.4+ allows users to set a custom thumbnail URL for a post, which can be set to pretty much anything resembling a valid link, especially a link to another image in the local pictrs db and trigger a deletion of both when a minimum age check is passed.
Also this:
Except that the field allows some funny URLs e.g.
https://t.t/;';'%22;...[:%3C%3E?]%27;%20yaba%20daba%20doo, if this is an issue too is not confirmed
36On point summary.
And I was just about to write that I have confirmed SQLi is not possible to find out I have missed something that might in-turn make it possible! holy hell back to drawing board12Yikes. Thanks for putting in the works and sharing your findings to you and @Nothing4You@programming.dev.
