MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Authenticated user with upload permission on FileRise versions 1.0.1 through 3.9.x. Attacker exploits unsanitized resumableIdentifier parameter in Resumable.js chunked upload handler to write arbitrary files or delete directories via path traversal. |
| Impact | The CVSS score of 8.1 (High) reflects network-based exploitation with low complexity requiring only low-level authentication (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H). The attack requires an authenticated user account with upload permissions, which reduces the attack surface compared to unauthenticated vulnerabilities. The impact is limited to integrity and availability (file write and delete operations) with no confidentiality impact, though filesystem probing provides some information disclosure. No EPSS score is available, but the lack of CISA KEV listing and no reported public exploitation suggests this is not being actively exploited in the wild. The technical impact is significant for affected installations as arbitrary file write can lead to code execution, but the requirement for authenticated access and the niche nature of self-hosted FileRise deployments limits overall real-world exposure. This should be prioritized for patching in environments running FileRise, particularly where upload permissions are granted to less-trusted users. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated attacker with upload permissions initiates a chunked file upload to FileRise and manipulates the resumableIdentifier parameter to include path traversal sequences such as '../../../var/www/html/shell.php'. This causes FileRise to write the uploaded file chunks outside the intended upload directory, potentially placing a web shell in the document root for remote code execution. The attacker could also trigger the cleanup mechanism to delete critical system directories by crafting malicious identifiers, causing denial of service or system instability. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 24, 2026
FileRise, a self-hosted web file manager and WebDAV server, contains a path traversal vulnerability in its Resumable.js chunked upload handler where the resumableIdentifier parameter is concatenated into filesystem paths without sanitization. Authenticated users with upload permissions can exploit this to write files to arbitrary directories, delete arbitrary directories, and probe filesystem structure. No evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) or public POC availability has been reported at this time.
RemediationAI
Upgrade FileRise to version 3.10.0 or later, which contains a patch for this vulnerability as documented in the release notes at https://github.com/error311/FileRise/releases/tag/v3.10.0. The specific fix is implemented in commit 3871f9fd1661688bed4f7dd23912be0ebf50973c available at https://github.com/error311/FileRise/commit/3871f9fd1661688bed4f7dd23912be0ebf50973c. Until patching is completed, administrators should restrict upload permissions to only highly trusted users, implement strict file upload monitoring and logging, and consider placing FileRise behind a web application firewall configured to detect and block path traversal attempts in HTTP parameters. Review filesystem permissions to ensure the web server process runs with minimal necessary privileges to limit the impact of arbitrary file operations.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability affects FileRise (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:error311:filerise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), specifically the UploadModel::handleUpload() function which implements chunked file uploads using the Resumable.js library. The issue is classified as CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory), commonly known as path traversal. The vulnerability stems from the direct concatenation of user-supplied resumableIdentifier parameter values into filesystem paths without validation or sanitization, allowing directory traversal sequences like '../' to escape intended upload directories. The post-assembly cleanup process can also be exploited to delete arbitrary directories by manipulating the path construction.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionGitHub Advisory
FileRise is a self-hosted web file manager / WebDAV server. From version 1.0.1 to before version 3.10.0, the resumableIdentifier parameter in the Resumable.js chunked upload handler (UploadModel::handleUpload()) is concatenated directly into filesystem paths without any sanitization. An authenticated user with upload permission can exploit this to write files to arbitrary directories on the server, delete arbitrary directories via the post-assembly cleanup, and probe file/directory existence. This issue has been patched in version 3.10.0.
Executive ViewAI
FileRise self-hosted file manager contains a high-severity path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2026-33329, CVSS 8.1) that allows authenticated users with upload permissions to write files to arbitrary locations and delete directories, potentially compromising system integrity and data protection. Organizations using FileRise in production environments face risk of unauthorized file placement, data destruction, and system compromise unless the available patch is deployed promptly.
Apply vendor patch. Interim mitigations pending patch deployment: (1) restrict upload permissions to minimal set of trusted users only; (2) implement filesystem monitoring and alerting on the FileRise data directory for unauthorized file creation or deletion; (3) disable WebDAV access if not operationally required; (4) isolate FileRise instances on restricted network segments with egress filtering.
