Summary

Mastodon versions 4.2.27 and prior, 4.3.0-beta.1 through 4.3.14, 4.4.0-beta.1 through 4.4.9, 4.5.0-beta.1 through 4.5.2 have discrepancies in error handling that allow checking whether a given status exists by sending a request with a non-English Accept-Language header. An attacker who knows the identifier of a status they are not allowed to see can confirm whether it exists. This cannot be used to learn the contents or any other property besides existence.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can confirm the existence of statuses they are not allowed to see, potentially leaking information about activity or content existence. The risk is limited to revealing the existence of a status.

Recommendation

Update Mastodon to versions 4.2.28, 4.3.15, 4.4.10, or 4.5.3. Ensure error handling does not disclose resource existence.

Original NVD description (English source)

Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub. Versions 4.2.27 and prior, 4.3.0-beta.1 through 4.3.14, 4.4.0-beta.1 through 4.4.9, 4.5.0-beta.1 through 4.5.2 have discrepancies in error handling which allow checking whether a given status exists by sending a request with a non-English Accept-Language header. Using this behavior, an attacker who knows the identifier of a particular status they are not allowed to see can confirm whether this status exists or not. This cannot be used to learn the contents of the status or any other property besides its existence. This issue is fixed in versions 4.2.28, 4.3.15, 4.4.10 and 4.5.3.
