CVE-2026-25059

### Summary The application contains a Path Traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in multiple file operation handlers. An authenticated attacker can bypass directory-level authorisation by injecting traversal sequences into filename components, enabling unauthorised file removal and copying across user boundaries within the same storage mount. ### Details The application contains a Path Traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in multiple file operation handlers in *server/handles/fsmanage.go*. Filename components in `req.Names` are directly concatenated with validated directories using `stdpath.Join`. This allows ".." sequences to bypass path restrictions, enabling users to access other users' files within the same storage mount and perform unauthorized actions such as deletion, renaming, or copying of files.

Environment setup: - Local storage mount as '/local'. - An admin file "adminsecret.txt" is placed under /local - Alice has base path '/local/alice'. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5d73bbec-29e5-4c52-8af3-4c70b26d9d0e ### Impact This vulnerability enables privilege escalation within shared storage environments. An authenticated attacker with basic file operation permissions (remove/copy) can bypass directory-level authorisation controls when multiple users exist within the same storage mount. Attack Requirements: - Authenticated user account (not guest) - Basic file operation permissions (remove/copy) - Multi-user environment within the same storage mount - Knowledge (or ability to guess) the target file's name and path Consequences: - Unauthorised data access: Read, copy, and exfiltrate files from other users' directories - Data destruction: Delete files belonging to other users ### Note This vulnerability was discovered by: - XlabAI Team of Tencent Xuanwu Lab - Atuin Automated Vulnerability Discovery Engine CVE and credit are preferred.
