CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Filebrowser versions prior to v2.63.21 are vulnerable due to improper path canonicalization, enabling authenticated users to bypass access controls by exploiting case variations or backslash-separated paths. This flaw allows attackers to access files that should be restricted, posing a risk of unauthorized data exposure. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize remediation to safeguard sensitive information from potential breaches.

Original NVD Description

filebrowser versions before v2.63.21 fail to canonicalize paths before evaluating access rules, allowing authenticated users to bypass administrator-defined deny rules using case-variant or backslash-separated paths. Attackers can request files with alternate path representations that match no rule but resolve to the same filesystem object, gaining unauthorized access to denied files within their scope.
