File Browser: existing shares must follow current owner permissions

GHSA-v9w4-gm2x-6rvf describes public file-sharing authority outliving its owner's permissions. Creating a share required sharing and download rights, but subsequent public access did not revalidate those rights. The maintainer-published report describes continued file retrieval after revocation in version 2.62.2.

How to use this reference

Editorial lesson: permission changes must constrain previously issued capabilities, not only new capability creation. The merged remediation checks the owner's current sharing and download permissions during public access. Its pull-request description records separate regression cases for revoking either permission. Model issuance and later use as distinct authorization decisions.

Context and limits

  • Requires an existing share and access to its link, followed by revocation of the owner's relevant permissions. This is a source-reported demonstration, not independently reproduced here; no production exposure is established.
  • CVE-2026-35604. The advisory lists versions through 2.62.2 as affected and 2.63.1 as patched; it does not resolve the intervening-version gap. Pull request 5888 was merged April 4, 2026; that merge date is not a verified package-release date.
  • Published by hacdias; Koda Reef (kodareef5) is credited as reporter and authored the remediation pull request. Resource edition is unspecified. The repository displayed an August 31, 2026 archive notice at review.
