When a photo exists in both a visible album and a hidden (link-required) album, the
/Photo/{id}/albumsendpoint was exposing the hidden album to any user who could see the photo — leaking the album's existence and granting unintended access.Root cause
PhotoController::albums()filtered usingAlbumPolicy::canAccess(), which returnstruefor any public album regardless ofis_link_required. Albums withis_link_required = trueare intentionally hidden from listings but were surfaced through this endpoint.Changes
PhotoController::albums()— replaces thecanAccessfilter with an explicit visibility check:current_user_permissions !== null) → includedis_link_required === false(and not password-locked)GetPhotoAlbumsTest— adds regression testtestHiddenAlbumNotShownToNonOwner: photo in a visible public album + a hidden (link-required) album; verifies the hidden album is absent from the response for unauthenticated users.
