CVE-2026-54091 Details
Description
File Browser is a file managing interface for uploading, deleting, previewing, renaming, and editing files within a specified directory. Prior to 2.63.6, File Browser's public share handlers rebase the share owner's filesystem root to the shared directory and then evaluate descendant paths against the owner's global and per-user rules using the rebased relative path instead of the original path relative to the owner's scope. As a result, an attacker who knows a public directory share URL can access files and subdirectories that the owner explicitly blocked with rules, as long as those blocked paths are located underneath the shared directory. In the simplest case this is an unauthenticated information disclosure through `GET /api/public/share/*` and `GET /api/public/dl/*`. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.63.6.
A vulnerability in File Browser's public share handling prior to version 2.63.6 allows unauthorized access to files and subdirectories that the owner has blocked through rules. This issue arises because the share handlers rebase the owner's filesystem root to the shared directory and evaluate paths against the owner's rules using the modified relative path, rather than the original. As a result, an attacker can exploit this flaw to access blocked content located under the shared directory. The vulnerability can be reproduced by creating a public share for a directory that contains sensitive files or subdirectories, and then accessing those blocked paths through the public share endpoints.
Users can update to File Browser version 2.63.6 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
