Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if the Immich instance is accessible over the internet and user registration or account creation is possible, an attacker can register, upload a malicious panorama, and wait for other users to view it. The exploit itself runs in the victim's browser when they access the crafted media with OCR overlay enabled.

Does exploiting this vulnerability require authentication?

Yes. The attacker must have an authenticated account with permissions to upload images that are processed by OCR. Victims only need to be authenticated users who can view the malicious panorama and its OCR overlay.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

The safest fix is to treat all OCR text as untrusted and ensure it is either inserted using text-only DOM APIs or passed through robust HTML sanitization before rendering. Broadly, remove direct uses of `innerHTML` (and similar APIs) with untrusted data and rely on templating systems or output encoding that escape special characters by default.
