Blinko · Blinko · CVE-2026-23480
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Blinko versions prior to 1.8.4
**Description**
Blinko is an AI-powered card note-taking project. Prior to version 1.8.4, a privilege escalation issue exists. The `upsertUser` API endpoint is missing `superAdminAuthMiddleware`, allowing any logged-in user to call it. The `originalPassword` parameter is optional, and if not provided, password verification is skipped. Additionally, there is no ownership verification performed, specifically checking if `input.id` equals `ctx.id`. This could allow any authenticated user to modify other users' passwords, escalate privileges to superadmin, and potentially take complete account control.
**Recommendations**
Update to version 1.8.4 or later.
