What is CVE-2024-25108?

The authorization vulnerability in Pixelfed, an open source photo sharing platform, permits unauthorized access to functionalities typically reserved for administrators and moderators. It arises from inadequate checks during request processing, impacting every version from v0.10.4 to v0.11.9, including their ability to federate with other servers. While some user interaction is necessary to trigger this vulnerability, attackers can exploit it without immediate user involvement. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to version 0.11.11, as no workarounds exist to mitigate this security issue.
