LinkAce is a self-hosted archive to collect website links. Prior to 2.5.6, the setup database configuration flow on uninitialized LinkAce instances accepts attacker-controlled database credential fields and writes them back into .env without escaping. A remote attacker who can reach the setup endpoints and supply a database they control can inject mail configuration variables and achieve command execution when the application later sends mail. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.6.
No affected version ranges are stored yet. Use the vendor advisory before you decide this record does not apply.
