MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | The CVSS v3.1 score of 4.3 reflects low attack complexity (AC:L), network accessibility (AV:N), and low privileges required (PR:L), but limited scope (S:U) and confidentiality impact (C:L). The SSVC framework indicates exploitation is possible with a proof-of-concept (poc), but automation is not straightforward (Automatable: no), and technical impact is partial (not critical infrastructure failure). The confluence of these signals suggests moderate real-world priority: this is not a critical remote-code-execution or widespread-exploitation scenario, but rather a focused information-disclosure risk affecting multi-tenant FileRise deployments where users with limited folder access could read colleagues' files. Organizations using FileRise in environments with sensitive shared data should prioritize patching; lower-risk isolated deployments may defer. The existence of public exploit code lowers the barrier for opportunistic attacks. |

FileRise versions 2.3.7 through 3.10.0 suffer from improper access control in the file snippet endpoint, allowing authenticated users with read-only access to retrieve file content uploaded by other users in shared folders. An attacker with limited folder permissions can exploit this authorization bypass to view sensitive files beyond their intended access scope. The vulnerability affects FileRise running on PHP and is resolved in version 3.11.0.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
FileRise versions 2.3.7 through 3.10.0 allow authenticated users with read-only access to a specific folder to retrieve file snippet previews from files uploaded by other users in that same folder, bypassing intended access controls. The vulnerability stems from improper authorization enforcement in the /api/file/snippet.php endpoint used for hover previews. An authenticated attacker with minimal privileges can exploit this low-complexity network attack to view confidential file contents without explicit permission, affecting data confidentiality. Publicly available exploit code exists, and vendor-released patch version 3.11.0 is available.
RemediationAI
Upgrade FileRise to version 3.11.0 or later immediately, as vendor-released patch version 3.11.0 is confirmed to fix this authorization flaw. Users unable to patch immediately should restrict folder-sharing practices to minimize exposure of sensitive files to users with read_own access, enforce strong authentication for all user accounts, and monitor API access logs for suspicious /api/file/snippet.php requests from low-privileged accounts accessing files outside their own uploads. See vendor advisory at https://github.com/error311/FileRise/security/advisories/GHSA-62wx-vp78-2p83 for detailed patch instructions.

Technical ContextAI · show details
FileRise (cpe:2.3:a:error311:filerise) is a self-hosted PHP-based file manager application supporting multi-user collaboration with granular folder-level access controls including read-own permissions. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), indicating that the /api/file/snippet.php endpoint fails to properly validate whether the authenticated user has authorization to read files created by other users before serving snippet content for preview generation. The read_own access level is intended to restrict users to only their own uploaded files, but the snippet endpoint does not enforce this restriction, allowing lateral file enumeration and content disclosure within shared folders.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
FileRise is a self-hosted web-based file manager with multi-file upload, editing, and batch operations. In versiosn 2.3.7 through 3.10.0, the file snippet endpoint /api/file/snippet.php allows an authenticated user with only read_own access to a folder to retrieve snippet content from files uploaded by other users in the same folder. This is a server-side authorization flaw in the read_own enforcement for hover previews. Version 3.11.0 fixes the issue.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using versiosn 2.3.7 should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2026-33477, a incorrect authorization vulnerability rated CVSS 4.3. Attackers could gain access beyond their authorized level. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
