Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
filebrowser through 2.63.23 does not remove share records when a shared file is renamed (only deletion triggers share cleanup). The share record is keyed by path, so it survives the rename and remains dormant (returning 404 while the path is empty). When any new, unrelated file later appears at the original shared path - via re-upload, another user with create permission, or a hook - the stale public share link serves that new file under the original link's password and expiry settings, unexpectedly exposing it.
AnalysisAI
Stale public share links in filebrowser through 2.63.23 can silently redirect to unrelated files uploaded after a rename operation, unexpectedly exposing new content to anyone holding the original link. The defect (CWE-459, Incomplete Cleanup) arises because share records are keyed by file path rather than a file identifier - deletion triggers cleanup, but rename does not, leaving the share dormant. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Three specific conditions must align for exploitation: (1) A file must have been shared via filebrowser's public share feature at a specific path, and that share link distributed to at least one external party. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3 accurately reflects the compounded preconditions: AC:H indicates high attack complexity, and AT:P captures the partial attack requirements - specifically that a new file must independently arrive at the original path for the stale share to activate. … 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 | Consult the vendor security advisory at https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/security/advisories/GHSA-m8v4-4w34-rrvf for the official fix version; no specific patched release version was confirmed in the available intelligence at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
