FileBrowser has Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in Share Deletion Function

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

File Browser provides a file managing interface within a specified directory and it can be used to upload, delete, preview, rename and edit files. Versions prior to 2.45.1 have an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the FileBrowser application's share deletion functionality. This vulnerability allows any authenticated user with share permissions to delete other users' shared links without authorization checks. The impact is significant as malicious actors can disrupt business operations by systematically removing shared files and links. This leads to denial of service for legitimate users, potential data loss in collaborative environments, and breach of data confidentiality agreements. In organizational settings, this could affect critical file sharing for projects, presentations, or document collaboration. Version 2.45.1 contains a fix for the issue.

### Summary It has been found an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the FileBrowser application's share deletion functionality. This vulnerability allows any authenticated user with share permissions to delete other users' shared links without authorization checks. The impact is significant as malicious actors can disrupt business operations by systematically removing shared files and links. This leads to denial of service for legitimate users, potential data loss in collaborative environments, and breach of data confidentiality agreements. In organizational settings, this could affect critical file sharing for projects, presentations, or document collaboration. ### Details **Technical Analysis** The vulnerability exists in` /http/share.go` at lines 72-82. The shareDeleteHandler function processes deletion requests using only the share hash without comparing the link.UserID with the current authenticated user's ID (d.user.ID). This missing authorization check enables the vulnerability. ``` var shareDeleteHandler = withPermShare(func(_ http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, d *data) (int, error) { hash := strings.TrimSuffix(r.URL.Path, "/") hash = strings.TrimPrefix(hash, "/") if hash == "" { return http.StatusBadRequest, nil } err := d.store.Share.Delete(hash) // Missing ownership validation return errToStatus(err), err }) ``` ### PoC **Reproduce Steps:** Prerequisites: Two authenticated user accounts (User A and User B) with share permissions Step 1: User A creates a share link and obtains the share hash (e.g., MEEuZK-v) Step 2: User B authenticates and obtains a valid JWT token Step 3: User B sends DELETE request to /api/share/MEEuZK-v with their own JWT token Step 4: Observe that User A's share is deleted without authorization DELETE /api/share/MEEuZK-v HTTP/1.1 Host: filebrowser.local Content-Type: application/json ### Impact The impact is significant as malicious actors can disrupt business operations by systematically removing shared files and links. This leads to denial of service for legitimate users, potential data loss in collaborative environments, and breach of data confidentiality agreements. In organizational settings, this could affect critical file sharing for projects, presentations, or document collaboration.
