Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser (CVE-2026-54097). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via create. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.63.6 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
File Browser is a file managing interface for uploading, deleting, previewing, renaming, and editing files within a specified directory. Prior to 2.63.6, a low-privileged authenticated user of filebrowser (with create + delete permissions in their own isolated scope) can silently destroy share-link records belonging to any other user — including the administrator — by performing a legitimate DELETE on a file in their own directory whose logical path happens to be a byte-prefix of another user's stored share.Link.Path. The file contents of the victim are not exposed, but the victim's share links are irrevocably wiped. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.63.6.
