CVE-2026-62664 Details
Description
FileRise is a self-hosted web-based file manager with multi-file upload, editing, and batch operations. Prior to 3.19.0, FileRise validates the complete folderName string but does not reject dot-dot path segments before FolderModel::createFolder() constructs and creates the destination. An authenticated low-privileged user with a valid CSRF token and create or owner permission on the parent can submit traversal segments to POST /api/folder/createFolder.php and create directories outside UPLOAD_DIR wherever the web-server account can write. This issue is fixed in version 3.19.0.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in FileRise versions prior to 3.19.0. The issue allows low-privileged authenticated users to create directories outside the designated upload root, bypassing access control restrictions. This is achieved by exploiting the 'folderName' parameter in the 'POST /api/folder/createFolder.php' endpoint, which fails to properly validate path segments before constructing the target directory path. As a result, directories can be created in sensitive locations, such as the document root or other areas where the web server has write permissions.
Users are advised to update to FileRise version 3.19.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
