{"cve":"CVE-2026-72834","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-14T12:16:46.807","modified":"2026-09-08T20:32:39.347","status":"Deferred","description":"filebrowser before 2.63.19 contains a permission bypass in the /api/resources endpoint. The checksum (?checksum=) branch of resourceGetHandler reads the entire file to compute a digest and returns it without performing a Perm.Download check (unlike the sibling raw, preview, and subtitle paths). As a result, an authenticated user provisioned with Perm.Download=false can obtain a content-hash oracle for any same-scope file (md5/sha1/sha256/sha512), enabling confirmation of known/guessed content, change detection, and offline brute-force of low-entropy files. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2026-35606; it bypasses only the Download permission and does not defeat scope/path authorization.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":5.3},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":4.3},"cwes":["CWE-200"],"references":["https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/commit/b7dc392838f11d188f0bc0f2a1a99fad3f7dca03","https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/security/advisories/GHSA-7whw-q6gh-xr59","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/filebrowser-before-permission-bypass-via-checksum"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72834","score":0.00392,"percentile":0.33306,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
