Cloudreve: Information Exposure in GET /api/v4/user/search: SearchActive omits the active-status predicate, leaking inactive/banned account emails
Summary
GET /api/v4/user/search is available to any logged-in user. The service calls userClient.SearchActive, but despite its name that method filters only by email/nickname keyword and never adds a StatusActive predicate — while the sibling lookups GetActiveByID and GetActiveByDavAccount, defined a few lines above it, do. Search hits are serialized at RedactLevelUser, which includes the email address.
A normal logged-in user can therefore enumerate and retrieve the email (plus nickname, avatar, creation time, redacted group, profile share-visibility) of inactive and banned accounts that an active-user directory is supposed to suppress. No global status interceptor compensates — the only User query interceptor is soft-delete, and inactive/banned rows are not soft-deleted.
Details
Root cause (verified at 26b6b10)
1. Route — logged-in + UserInfo.Read scope (routers/router.go):
The RequiredScopes check applies to scoped OAuth tokens; plain session requests are not gated by it — so any logged-in user reaches the search.
2. Service — 2-char keyword to SearchActive (service/user/info.go):
3. The bug — SearchActive has no status predicate (inventory/user.go):
Contrast the siblings immediately above:
withUserEagerLoading only eager-loads the group/passkey edges; it adds no status filter. Status values are active/inactive/manual_banned/sys_banned (ent/user/user.go).
4. No global status interceptor — User.Mixin() is CommonMixin{} (ent/schema/user.go), whose Interceptors() returns only softDeleteInterceptors (ent/schema/common.go). Inactive/banned users are not soft-deleted, so nothing filters them out at query time.
5. Results serialized with email (routers/controllers/user.go → service/user/response.go):
Secondary path: GET /api/v4/user/info/:id → GetUser uses GetByID (no status filter), and the controller picks RedactLevelUser for any non-anonymous caller (RedactLevelAnonymous only for anonymous). So a logged-in caller with an inactive/banned user's hashed ID also receives the email-bearing profile. (Less practical than search, since it needs the hashed ID rather than a 2-char keyword.)
Steps to reproduce (requires a live instance)
- Ensure a target account exists in
inactiveormanual_banned/sys_bannedstatus (e.g., an unconfirmed registration or a banned user). - As any logged-in user:
GET /api/v4/user/search?keyword=<>=2 chars of the target email/nick> Cookie: cloudreve-session=<attacker-session>
- Observe the inactive/banned account in the results, including its
email. Expected: only active accounts appear (matching the method name and the siblingGetActive*behavior). Actual: inactive/banned accounts are returned with their email addresses.
Impact
Any logged-in user can enumerate and harvest the email addresses (and basic profile metadata) of inactive and banned accounts that active-user lookups intentionally hide. No account access, passwords, or 2FA secrets are exposed; the impact is PII leakage and user enumeration.
Remediation
- Add
Where(user.StatusEQ(user.StatusActive))toSearchActive(matchingGetActiveByID). - Apply the same active-status requirement to
GET /api/v4/user/info/:id, or fall back to anonymous-level redaction unless the target account is active. - Consider not returning email from directory search at all — display name + hashed ID is usually sufficient.
- Regression tests: searching a keyword that matches an inactive/banned account must return no result (or no email).

Cloudreve is a self-hosted file management and sharing system. Prior to 4.17.0, GET /api/v4/user/search calls SearchActive without adding a StatusActive predicate and serializes matches at RedactLevelUser, allowing any logged-in user to enumerate email addresses and profile metadata for inactive or banned accounts. The service calls userClient.SearchActive, but despite its name that method filters only by email/nickname keyword and never adds a StatusActive predicate — while the sibling lookups GetActiveByID and GetActiveByDavAccount, defined a few lines above it, do. Search hits are serialized at RedactLevelUser, which includes the email address. This issue is fixed in version 4.17.0.
