Summary
FileBrowser Quantum versions prior to 1.3.2-stable, 1.4.0-beta, and 1.4.1-beta are vulnerable to Path Traversal. The issue occurs in publicPatchHandler, where user-controlled paths can be manipulated, allowing operations on files outside the shared directory.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with a public share link that has AllowModify=true can move, copy, or rename arbitrary files within the share owner's source root, posing a serious threat to data integrity.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to versions 1.3.3-stable or 1.4.2-beta to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, consider restricting access to public share links with AllowModify enabled.
Other vulnerabilities in FileBrowser Quantum
See all- CVE-2026-44542Critical
FileBrowser Quantum prior to versions 1.3.1-stable and 1.3.9-beta has a vulnerability that allows an attacker to use attacker-controlled path input to escape the intended shared directory. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker with a valid public share hash and delete permissions can delete arbitrary files outside this directory.
- CVE-2026-54910High
FileBrowser Quantum before version 1.4.3-beta contains two path traversal vulnerabilities in the /api/media/subtitles endpoint. The 'path' and 'name' parameters are not properly sanitized, allowing any authenticated user to read any text file on the server, including /etc/passwd, SSH keys, and credentials.
- CVE-2026-54685Medium
Vulnerability in FileBrowser Quantum prior to version 1.3.2-beta. The `/api/auth/login` endpoint does not execute in constant time, allowing an attacker to distinguish existing users from non-existing ones based on response time (timing attack).
- CVE-2026-46410High
Vulnerability in FileBrowser Quantum prior to versions 1.3.2-stable and 1.4.1-beta may leak sensitive information such as source and path. Fixed in versions 1.3.2-stable and 1.4.1-beta.
Original NVD description (English source)
FileBrowser Quantum is a free, self-hosted, web-based file manager. Versions prior to 1.3.2-stable, 1.4.0-beta and 1.4.1-beta are vulnerable to Path Traversal through the publicPatchHandler in backend/http/public.go which joins user-controlled fromPath and toPath body fields with the trusted d.share.Path BEFORE the downstream sanitizer runs. Because filepath.Join collapses .. segments during the join, the sanitizer in resourcePatchHandler never sees the traversal and the move/copy/rename operates on a path outside the shared directory. The same root-cause pattern was patched for the bulk DELETE endpoint as CVE-2026-44542 (GHSA-fwj3-42wh-8673), but the PATCH handler with the identical pattern was not updated. A public share link with AllowModify=true is sufficient to exploit this. Anyone holding such a link can move, copy, or rename arbitrary files within the share owner's source root. This issue has been fixed in versions 1.3.3-stable and 1.4.2-beta.
