Medium (6.9). EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in github.com/lin-snow/ech0 1.4.8-0.20260503040728-a7e8b8e84bd1.
Ech0 before 4.7.3 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the PUT /api/echo/like/:id endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to increment engagement metrics without identity verification or rate limiting. Attackers can send repeated requests to arbitrarily inflate the fav_count field for any known echo identifier, compromising the integrity of engagement metrics and social ranking systems.
