AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Blinko through 1.8.8 allows directory traversal, overwriting startup files as root, via installPlugin. It builds the plugin install path from an unsanitized name in server/routerTrpc/plugin.ts, and the plugin.installPlugin tRPC procedure is open to any authenticated user. Thus, a name containing ../ sequences writes the downloaded plugin files outside the plugins directory. Because the official Docker image runs as root, an authenticated attacker overwrites a root-owned startup file and achieves remote code execution as root. Self-registration for an account may be possible.

Blinko is an AI-powered card note-taking project. Prior to version 1.8.4, the file server endpoint does not perform permission checks on the temp/ path and does not filter path traversal sequences, allowing unauthorized attackers to read arbitrary files on the server. When scheduled backup tasks are enabled, attackers can read backup files to obtain all user notes and user TOKENS. This issue has been patched in version 1.8.4.

Blinko is an AI-powered card note-taking project. In versions from 1.8.3 and prior, the plugin file server endpoint uses join() to concatenate paths but does not verify if the final path is within the plugins directory, leading to path traversal. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

Blinko is an AI-powered card note-taking project. Prior to version 1.8.4, the /api/v1/comment/create endpoint has an unauthorized access vulnerability, allowing attackers to post comments on any note (including private notes) without authorization, even if the note has not been publicly shared. The /api/v1/comment/list endpoint has the same issue, allowing unauthorized viewing of comments on all notes. This issue has been patched in version 1.8.4.

Blinko is an AI-powered card note-taking project. Prior to version 1.8.4, there is a privilege escalation vulnerability. The upsertUser endpoint has 3 issues: it is missing superAdminAuthMiddleware, any logged-in user can call it; the originalPassword is an optional parameter and if not provided password verification is skipped; there is no check for input.id === ctx.id (ownership verification). This could result in any authenticated user modifying other users' passwords, direct escalation to superadmin, and complete account takeover. This issue has been patched in version 1.8.4.
