DescriptionGitHub Advisory

FileBrowser Quantum is a free, self-hosted, web-based file manager. Prior to versions 1.1.3-stable and 1.2.6-beta, when users share password-protected files, the recipient can completely bypass the password and still download the file. This happens because the API returns a direct download link in the details of the share, which is accessible to anyone with JUST THE SHARE LINK, even without the password. Versions 1.1.3-stable and 1.2.6-beta fix the issue.

AnalysisAI

FileBrowser Quantum versions prior to 1.1.3-stable and 1.2.6-beta expose a password bypass vulnerability in shared files, allowing unauthenticated recipients to download protected content by accessing the direct download link embedded in share details. An attacker possessing only the share link can retrieve files without providing the intended password, completely circumventing access controls. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and patches are available in the patched versions.
