Description
File Browser is a file managing interface for uploading, deleting, previewing, renaming, and editing files within a specified directory. From 2.0.0 through 2.63.1, the hook system in File Browser - which executes administrator-defined shell commands on file events such as upload, rename, and delete - is vulnerable to OS command injection. Variable substitution for values like $FILE and $USERNAME is performed via os.Expand without sanitization. An attacker with file write permission can craft a malicious filename containing shell metacharacters, causing the server to execute arbitrary OS commands when the hook fires. This results in Remote Code Execution (RCE). This feature has been disabled by default for all installations from v2.33.8 onwards, including for existent installations.
Analysis
Remote code execution in File Browser versions 2.0.0 through 2.63.1 allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary OS commands via malicious filenames. The vulnerability stems from unsanitized variable substitution in the hook system, which processes file events (upload, rename, delete) using administrator-defined shell commands. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Inventory all File Browser deployments and document current versions in use; disable the hook system feature if enabled in administrative settings. Within 7 days: Restrict file write permissions to trusted users only and audit recent file uploads for suspicious filenames containing shell metacharacters (e.g., $(), backticks, |, &, ;); upgrade to File Browser v2.33.8 or later if possible to benefit from the default-disabled mitigation. …
