Audiobookshelf: Cross-library file exfiltration via unscoped bulk download endpoint

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 30.04.2026 Published: 11.05.2026 Updated: 11.05.2026

Audiobookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server. Prior to 2.32.2, the GET /api/libraries/:id/download endpoint validates that the requesting user has access to the library specified in the URL path, but fetches downloadable items solely by attacker-provided IDs without constraining them to that library. An authenticated user with download permission and access to any one library can exfiltrate the full file contents of items belonging to any other library, including libraries they are explicitly denied access to. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.32.2.
