CVE-2026-69194 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 returns the stored branding.footerHtml value through the unauthenticated public site configuration API without server-side sanitization. The FileRise frontend already sanitizes this value before rendering it into the page, using an allowlist of simple footer tags and safe link handling. The unauthenticated public config API exposed raw admin-provided footer HTML to clients, which is still undesirable and could be unsafe for alternate clients or future render paths. An administrator must first store the malicious footer value. This issue is fixed in version 3.21.0.
A vulnerability exists in FileRise versions prior to 3.21.0, where the application exposes the 'footerHtml' branding field through the unauthenticated public site configuration API without proper server-side HTML sanitization. This oversight allows for the potential injection of unsafe HTML, including script-capable elements, which could lead to persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Although the FileRise frontend sanitizes this value before rendering, the lack of backend validation creates a risk for alternative clients or future rendering methods. The issue requires an administrator to first inject the malicious footer content.
Users can upgrade to FileRise version 3.21.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for downloading the latest version are available on the FileRise GitHub releases page.
