CVE-2026-72835
7.6
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
Summary
filebrowser versions before v2.63.21 fail to canonicalize paths before evaluating access rules, allowing authenticated users to bypass administrator-defined deny rules using case-variant or backslash-separated paths. Attackers can request files with alternate path representations that match no rule but resolve to the same filesystem object, gaining unauthorized access to denied files within their scope.
