CVE-2026-69193 Details
Description
FileRise is a self-hosted web-based file manager with multi-file upload, editing, and batch operations. Prior to 3.21.0, FileRise tracks failed logins only by the combination of source IP address and username. A remote unauthenticated attacker can rotate usernames to obtain a fresh per-account attempt budget for each name, enabling password spraying from one source beyond the intended limit. Per-user limits still apply and can also produce distinguishable throttling behavior for targeted accounts. The affected surface is AuthModel::getFailedLoginKey(). This issue is fixed in version 3.21.0.
A vulnerability in FileRise, a self-hosted web-based file manager, prior to version 3.21.0, allows remote unauthenticated attackers to bypass login rate limiting. The application tracks failed login attempts using a combination of source IP address and username, with a limit of five attempts per username per 30-minute window. However, because the tracking key includes the username, attackers can rotate usernames to reset the attempt counter for each account. This manipulation enables unlimited password spraying from a single IP address, while also causing targeted accounts to experience account lockout. The vulnerability exists in the authentication handling of the application, specifically within the 'AuthController' and 'AdminModel' components.
Users can upgrade to FileRise version 3.21.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. Instructions for downloading the latest version are available on the FileRise GitHub Releases page.
