DescriptionCVE.org

File Browser versions from 2.50.0 through 2.63.21 fail to validate JWT expiration when proxy authentication is configured with a non-default logout page. Attackers with a previously valid token can access protected routes and administrative endpoints indefinitely, and exchange expired tokens for fresh ones via the renewal endpoint.

AnalysisAI

File Browser versions 2.50.0 through 2.63.21 permit indefinite session persistence via expired JWT tokens when proxy authentication is configured with a non-default logout page, enabling an attacker who possesses any previously valid token to access protected routes and administrative endpoints beyond the token's expiration window. The authentication middleware intentionally waived JWT expiration under proxy-auth - since the proxy is expected to govern session lifetime - but failed to require the proxy to simultaneously assert the user's identity on each request, meaning a leaked or captured token could authenticate independently and indefinitely. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain expired JWT via prior authenticated access or interception
Delivery
Identify target running proxy-auth with non-default logout page
Exploit
Submit expired token to protected API or admin endpoint
Execution
Middleware waives expiration without proxy header validation
Persist
Access protected files and administrative functions
Impact
Submit expired token to renewal endpoint to obtain a fresh token

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) File Browser must be configured to use proxy authentication (AuthMethod set to MethodProxyAuth); (2) the logout page must be configured to a non-default custom value (the vulnerable code path is triggered only when this non-default setting is detected); and (3) the attacker must possess a JWT token that was previously valid for the target instance - obtained through legitimate prior access, network capture, log exfiltration, or browser history. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.6 reflects meaningful but conditionally constrained risk: AC:H and AT:P signal that exploitation requires the specific co-occurrence of proxy authentication enabled and a non-default logout page, neither of which is the default configuration. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who previously authenticated to a File Browser instance - or who captured a JWT from network traffic, application logs, or a browser session - allows the token to expire naturally, then submits it directly to a protected API endpoint or the token renewal endpoint on a proxy-auth deployment with a non-default logout page. Because the pre-patch middleware waives expiration without validating the proxy identity header, the expired token is accepted, granting full access to protected files and administrative functions; the renewal endpoint can then be used to obtain a fresh, unexpired token, converting a time-limited exposure into persistent access. …
Remediation The upstream fix is available as commit 72faf6dd3c85628e332d3e567124b86708ce2695 (https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/commit/72faf6dd3c85628e332d3e567124b86708ce2695); a tagged patched release version has not been independently confirmed from the available data - consult the vendor advisory at https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/security/advisories/GHSA-v3jv-rmh2-635j for the exact released version before upgrading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
