## What is CVE-2026-77633?

CVE-2026-77633 is a high-severity vulnerability in cloudreve, published on 22 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Cloudreve is a self-hosted file management and sharing system. Prior to 4.18.0, PrepareUpload in pkg/filemanager/fs/dbfs/upload.go checks a stale in-memory user storage value through validateUserCapacity and later applies an unconditional storage charge outside the same quota-enforcing transaction. An authenticated user with Files.Write permission can issue concurrent upload-session requests that read the same capacity snapshot, all pass the MaxStorage check, and reserve their declared sizes through CommitWithStorageDiff. The resulting reservations can exceed the account quota and can be materialized as chunked uploads that exhaust host storage and deny uploads to other users. The default local-storage policy and default User group are affected. This issue is fixed in version 4.18.0.

Weakness: CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling), CWE-367 (Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition), CWE-362 (Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization)

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
