{"id":"CVE-2026-54910","summary":"FileBrowser Quantum's path traversal issue in subtitle handler allows any authenticated user to read arbitrary files","details":"FileBrowser Quantum is a free, self-hosted, web-based file manager. Prior to version 1.4.3-beta, the `subtitlesHandler` endpoint (`GET /api/media/subtitles`) accepts two user-controlled query parameters: `path` and `name`, both of which are used in filesystem operations without sanitization, creating two independent path traversal vectors. The primary vector is the `path` parameter: it is passed directly to `idx.GetRealPath()` without calling `SanitizeUserPath()`, allowing an attacker to escape the storage root and set `parentDir` to any directory on the host. No existing anchor file is required.  The secondary vector is the `name` parameter: it is joined with `parentDir` via `filepath.Join(parentDir, name)` without stripping directory components, allowing traversal relative to any resolved `parentDir`. Any authenticated user (regardless of role or permissions) can exploit either vector to read any text file readable by the server process, including `/etc/passwd`, SSH keys, database credentials, and JWT signing keys. Version 1.4.3-beta patches the issue.","aliases":["GHSA-vvp7-h4fj-m28w"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:20.491277574Z","published":"2026-07-20T14:20:21.412Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-22","CWE-23"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/54xxx/CVE-2026-54910.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/54xxx/CVE-2026-54910.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser/security/advisories/GHSA-vvp7-h4fj-m28w"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-54910"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser/commit/f3f4bbe80cb569d664174aea874d7bfa008c3b5a"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"f3f4bbe80cb569d664174aea874d7bfa008c3b5a"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.4.3-beta"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["v1.2.1-stable","v1.0.1-stable","v0.7.6-beta","v0.5.2-beta","v0.5.1-beta","v0.5.0-beta","v0.4.2-beta","v0.4.1-beta","v0.4.0-beta","v0.3.7-beta","v0.3.6-beta","v0.3.4"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-54910.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
