DescriptionCVE.org

filebrowser versions before 2.63.19 contain an out-of-scope file deletion vulnerability in the TUS upload cache eviction mechanism that allows authenticated users with only Create permission to delete arbitrary files outside their scope. Attackers can swap an ancestor directory with a symlink during the cache TTL window to redirect the raw os.Remove call to an out-of-scope target, bypassing ScopedFs scope guards and Perm.Delete checks.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file deletion in filebrowser before 2.63.19 allows authenticated users holding only Create permission to delete files outside their authorized scope by abusing a race condition in the TUS resumable upload cache eviction path. An attacker swaps an ancestor directory for a symlink during the cache TTL window, redirecting an unguarded os.Remove() call to an out-of-scope target and completely bypassing ScopedFs scope guards and Perm.Delete permission checks - no Delete permission is required. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access

Execution

Persist
Eviction fires unguarded os.Remove()
Impact
Out-of-scope file deleted

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated filebrowser session with at minimum Create permission - no Delete permission is needed, making this a permission escalation within the application's own authorization model. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.2 reflects meaningful real-world complexity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated filebrowser user with Create-only permission initiates a TUS resumable upload to a path within their allowed scope, then races to replace an ancestor directory of that recorded path with a symlink pointing to a sensitive system location - such as /etc or a database data directory - before the TUS cache TTL fires. When the cache eviction routine executes, it calls os.Remove() on the stored path, which now resolves through the attacker's symlink to an out-of-scope target, deleting a file the user has no Delete permission over. …
Remediation Upgrade filebrowser to version 2.63.19 or later, which resolves the vulnerability by re-validating paths at cache eviction time to prevent symlink-redirected os.Remove() calls from escaping the defined scope boundary. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
