FileBrowser Public Share DELETE API Path Traversal Allows Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Deletion
Summary
Attacker-controlled path input is joined with a trusted base path prior to sanitization, allowing traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to escape the intended shared directory. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker possessing a valid public share hash with delete permissions enabled can delete arbitrary files outside the shared directory within the share owner’s configured storage scope.
Affected Components
Two distinct vulnerable code paths:
- Stable versions (e.g., gtstef/filebrowser:stable)
DELETE /public/api/resources?hash=<hash>&path=../victimRoot cause: middleware.go:111 Issue: path query parameter is joined before SanitizeUserPath() - Development / HEAD (e.g., commit eabdfd9)
DELETE /public/api/resources/bulk?hash=<hash>Body: [{"path":"../victim"}] Root cause: resource.go:274 Issue: item.Path is joined before SanitizeUserPath()
Steps to reproduce (Stable Version)
1. Create a directory structure:
2. Create a public share:
3. Send request:
Proof of Concept (HEAD / bulk endpoint)
Alternative PoC Scripts:
poc_v3.sh (If the script fails due to environment differences, the manual PoC above reliably reproduces the issue.)
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker with access to a public share link configured with delete permissions enabled can delete attacker-chosen files outside the shared directory, anywhere within the share owner’s storage scope. This results in unauthorized data loss and potential service disruption.

Связанные уязвимости
FileBrowser Quantum is a free, self-hosted, web-based file manager. Prior to 1.3.1-stable and 1.3.9-beta, attacker-controlled path input is joined with a trusted base path prior to sanitization, allowing traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to escape the intended shared directory. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker possessing a valid public share hash with delete permissions enabled can delete arbitrary files outside the shared directory within the share owner’s configured storage scope. This affects public/api/resources and public/api/resources/bulk. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.1-stable and 1.3.9-beta.
