DescriptionCVE.org

OpenList a file list program that supports multiple storage. Prior to 4.2.4, the share creation and update checks in server/handles/sharing.go use strings.HasPrefix(requested_path, user.BasePath) without enforcing a directory separator boundary. An authenticated user with CanShare permission and a BasePath such as /base can submit a sibling path such as /base2/secret.txt, create a share for the out-of-scope file, and use the public share download or list handlers to read data outside the assigned directory. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.4.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file read in OpenList prior to 4.2.4 enables authenticated users with CanShare permission to bypass directory boundary enforcement and exfiltrate files outside their assigned BasePath. The flaw in the share creation and update handlers uses Go's strings.HasPrefix without a separator-aware boundary check, so a user restricted to /base can create a valid share for /base2/secret.txt because the prefix match returns true. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must hold a valid OpenList account with the CanShare permission explicitly granted by an administrator - this is not a default permission for all users. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the threat profile: exploitation requires a valid account with CanShare permission but is otherwise trivial - low attack complexity, no user interaction, no scope change, and high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade OpenList to version 4.2.4 immediately; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed in commit 59bd3431408578f420895457554700cc9a52375a and the v4.2.4 release at https://github.com/OpenListTeam/OpenList/releases/tag/v4.2.4. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
