MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only network reachability to the application's Files API; the index/store/update/destroy actions in app/Http/Controllers/FileController.php lack authentication entirely (CWE-306), so no credentials, tokens, or user interaction are needed against a default deployment. The practical limiting factor is exposure and footprint, not configuration: the instance must be network-accessible to the attacker, and because this is a niche, unversioned hobby project there is no confirmed patched release to apply - mitigation depends on the operator adding an authentication layer or restricting network access. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but modest-priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation with no user interaction, which aligns with the CWE-306 missing-authentication root cause on the Files API CRUD endpoints. However, impact is rated only Low across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L, SC/SI/SA:N), holding the base score to 5.5 (Medium). Exploit maturity is Proof-of-Concept (E:P), and the input confirms a publicly available exploit, so the exploitation signal is 'publicly available exploit code exists' - distinct from active exploitation. This CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no EPSS score was provided in the input, so widespread-exploitation probability cannot be quantified from available data. The dominant risk-limiting factor is prevalence: this is an unversioned individual GitHub project whose maintainer was notified via an issue report but has not responded, meaning real-world deployment is minimal and no patch is confirmed. Net assessment: easy to exploit where deployed, but very low deployment footprint keeps real-world risk low to moderate. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker discovers an internet-exposed instance of the file-management-system and sends crafted HTTP requests directly to the Files API endpoints (index/store/update/destroy) without any credentials, exploiting the missing authentication check in FileController.php to list, upload, modify, or delete files. A public proof-of-concept exists (referenced via the project's GitHub issue tracker), lowering the skill needed. Low attack complexity and no required user interaction make opportunistic exploitation straightforward against any exposed deployment. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Unauthenticated remote attackers can invoke the index, store, update, and destroy actions of the Files API in MomoTommy file-management-system (app/Http/Controllers/FileController.php) because those actions lack any authentication check, allowing unauthorized listing, upload, modification, and deletion of files. The project is unversioned and has not responded to the early issue report, and publicly available exploit code exists (CWE-306, CVSS 4.0 score 5.5), though the niche hobby-project footprint and low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact keep this a genuine but modest-priority issue rather than a top-tier emergency.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the project has not responded to the issue report, so operators must mitigate independently. Add authentication and authorization middleware to every Files API route (for Laravel, wrap the controller in auth middleware or route groups and add per-action policy checks for index, store, update, and destroy), and validate that each request maps to an authenticated user before any file operation executes; the trade-off is that legitimate clients and integrations must be updated with credentials. Until upstream fixes land, restrict network reachability to the Files API with firewall rules, a VPN, or a reverse proxy that enforces authentication, and consider disabling the controller routes entirely on internet-facing deployments; these controls reduce exposure but can break existing workflows and do not fix the underlying code. Monitor https://github.com/MomoTommy/file-management-system/ and https://vuldb.com/vuln/424693 for a fix, and review https://github.com/MomoTommy/file-management-system/issues/1 for the public exploit details that should inform detection.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a PHP web application whose controller layout (app/Http/Controllers/FileController.php) is characteristic of the Laravel framework. CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function) applies because the index, store, update, and destroy methods expose file operations over the network without any middleware, session check, or token validation. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/E:P) confirms that no privileges or user interaction are required and that proof-of-concept exploit maturity has been recorded; the 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) maps to limited impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CPE cpe:2.3:a:momotommy:file-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all releases, and because the project does not use versioning there is no way to distinguish fixed from vulnerable builds. The reported manipulation of the Request argument suggests the controller trusts request-supplied data to reach file operations, but the root cause class remains missing authorization rather than input validation.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in MomoTommy file-management-system dc9ce1bf27f94b23d906cb1e86ce374dc94ca5df. This issue affects the function index/store/update/destroy of the file app/Http/Controllers/FileController.php of the component Files API. The manipulation of the argument Request results in missing authentication. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This product does not use versioning. This is why information about affected and unaffected releases are unavailable. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
