Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
goshs is a SimpleHTTPServer written in Go. Prior to 2.0.0-beta.4, goshs enforces the documented per-folder .goshs ACL/basic-auth mechanism for directory listings and file reads, but it does not enforce the same authorization checks for state-changing routes. An unauthenticated attacker can upload files with PUT, upload files with multipart POST /upload, create directories with ?mkdir, and delete files with ?delete inside a .goshs-protected directory. By deleting the .goshs file itself, the attacker can remove the folder's auth policy and then access previously protected content without credentials. This results in a critical authorization bypass affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-beta.4.
Analysis
Critical authorization bypass in goshs (Go-based HTTP server) versions prior to 2.0.0-beta.4 allows unauthenticated attackers to upload, delete, and modify files in directories protected by .goshs ACL configurations. Attackers can execute state-changing operations (PUT uploads, POST /upload, directory creation via ?mkdir, file deletion via ?delete) without credentials, bypassing documented per-folder authentication mechanisms. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running goshs versions prior to 2.0.0-beta.4 using asset discovery tools; immediately isolate affected instances from untrusted networks or disable external access. Within 7 days: Upgrade goshs to version 2.0.0-beta.4 or later on all systems; validate .goshs ACL configurations are re-applied post-upgrade. …
