An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-52996 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser (Go): affected all versions up to 1.11.0; no fix listed\n- github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser (Go): affected all versions up to 1.11.0; no fix listed\n- github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2 (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2 (Go): affected all versions up to 2.42.1; no fix listed\n- github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2 (Go): affected all versions up to 2.42.1; no fix listed\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-52996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-52996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-52996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-52996/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-52996","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3v48-283x-f2w4","GO-2025-3790"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"File Browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass password protection on shared links to access files directly, exposing sensitive data to unauthorized users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"filebrowser","vendor":"filebrowser"}],"cvss":{"score":3.1,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-305","name":"Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness"}],"description":"File Browser provides a file managing interface within a specified directory and it can be used to upload, delete, preview, rename and edit files.
