Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess the target account's valid primary credential (username and password) AND to capture a TOTP code that the victim is using during a genuine login, then replay it from a separate pending-login session before that time step's window closes. The core precondition is that FileRise (prior to 3.23.0) validates the TOTP code against the time window without recording that the same account/time-step already succeeded, so no TOTP-specific setting must be enabled - the flaw affects standard TOTP-protected accounts. Limiting factors: it does not disclose the password or TOTP code (so credentials must be obtained separately), it needs a concurrent/near-simultaneous victim login to produce a capturable code (UI:R), and the replay must land inside the TOTP acceptance window (AC:H), making it a narrow, targeted race rather than a broad remote attack.

Impact

This is a genuine but conditional, moderate-severity issue rather than a top-priority emergency. The published CVSS of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R) is internally consistent with the description: it is network-reachable but gated by high attack complexity and two hard preconditions - the attacker must already hold the victim's valid primary credential (PR:L, authenticated) and must capture a legitimate TOTP code within its short validity window (UI:R, requiring a concurrent victim login). No EPSS score, KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active or probable near-term exploitation; per available data this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The signals are not conflicting - they consistently point to a targeted, not opportunistic or wormable, attack. The CVSS claims C:H/I:H/A:N, meaning full read/write to the victim's files but no availability impact, which matches a single-factor-bypass-into-account-takeover outcome. Net: a real second-factor weakness worth patching on schedule, but the combined requirement of stolen credentials plus live TOTP capture materially limits real-world risk below what a 'network/high-impact' headline might suggest.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has already phished or otherwise stolen a FileRise user's username and password sniffs or observes the TOTP code the victim enters during a legitimate login, then - from a second pending-login session held open with the stolen password - replays that same still-valid code before its time step expires, completing authentication a second time and taking over the account. No public exploit code was identified; the attack hinges on the high-complexity timing race (AC:H) and a concurrent victim login (UI:R), so it is realistic only against a specifically targeted account.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 15, 2026

Successful TOTP second-factor codes in FileRise prior to 3.23.0 can be replayed from a separate pending-login session, allowing an attacker who already holds the target account's valid username and password to complete authentication and reach that account with high confidentiality and integrity impact. The flaw exists because the application (CWE-287, Improper Authentication) validates a submitted code against the accepted time window but never records that the same account and time step was already consumed, so a captured still-valid code keeps working until the window expires. Exploitation is a narrow, targeted race - it requires possession of the primary credential plus capture of a live code during a genuine victim login (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, base 6.4) - and no public exploit code is identified at time of analysis; a vendor patch in version 3.23.0 is available.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to FileRise 3.23.0 (release tag v3.23.0; fix commit cc1118923b522baff28dca05bdd79c27f984c68a), which atomically claims accepted TOTP time steps per account and authenticator secret and adds persistent account-wide and source-wide attempt budgets - after upgrading, an account that submits five failed TOTP codes waits up to 15 minutes before another verification attempt, a trade-off in login latency for stronger anti-brute-force and anti-replay behavior. Because the attack hinges on the attacker already holding a valid primary credential and intercepting a live code, pre-upgrade compensating controls are limited and should target that precondition: ensure each account uses a unique, strong password (the advisory notes the issue does not itself disclose the primary credential or TOTP code, so credential phish/reuse is the practical entry point), and monitor authentication logs for near-simultaneous successful logins on the same account from different client addresses or sessions, since the replay must land inside the TOTP acceptance window. Note that 3.23.0 is a breaking security release for OIDC deployments: OIDC identities created before this version lack the new issuer/subject binding and cannot automatically match an existing local account, so back up the users directory (including users/oidc_identities.json), verify a working local administrator login, and follow the 'Upgrading existing OIDC accounts to v3.23.0' procedure before upgrading; also ensure the ONLYOFFICE Document Server has outgoing JWTs enabled and shares FileRise's secret, because unsigned save callbacks are no longer trusted (the ONLYOFFICE_ALLOW_UNSIGNED_CALLBACKS escape hatch is explicitly temporary and unsafe).

Technical ContextAI · show details

FileRise is a self-hosted, PHP-based web file manager (error311:FileRise, CPE cpe:2.3:a:error311:filerise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), and the vulnerable component is its TOTP (RFC 6238) second-factor verification path. TOTP codes are derived from a shared secret and a time step, and are normally valid for a small acceptance window; correct implementations must be replay-resistant, meaning a code that has already been accepted for a given account/authenticator secret during a given time step must be marked consumed so it cannot be reused. Prior to 3.23.0, FileRise checked only whether the presented code matched an acceptable time step and did not atomically claim that time step, so the same code could be submitted again from another pending-login session and pass. This falls under CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) - an authentication-mechanism design/implementation flaw rather than a cryptographic break of TOTP itself. The v3.23.0 fix (commit cc1118923b522baff28dca05bdd79c27f984c68a) claims successful time steps atomically per account and authenticator secret, enforces persistent account-wide and source-wide attempt budgets across all pending-login verification paths, resolves the alternate auth handler to the shared verifier so that changing sessions or client addresses cannot reset the limit, and clears the account budget on success without counting ordinary successful logins. The same release also hardens several adjacent areas - OIDC identity binding to immutable issuer/subject, upload/rename trailing-dot and path-segment validation, archive extraction containment, and ONLYOFFICE callback JWT enforcement - which is context for the 3.23.0 release notes but is separate from the TOTP replay issue itself.

DescriptionCVE.org

FileRise is a self-hosted web-based file manager with multi-file upload, editing, and batch operations. Prior to 3.23.0, FileRise verifies that a TOTP code is valid for the accepted time window but does not record that the same account and time step already succeeded. An attacker who has the target account's valid primary credential and captures a TOTP code after its successful use can replay that code from another pending-login session before the window closes. The issue does not by itself disclose the primary credential or TOTP code. This issue is fixed in version 3.23.0.
