GHSA-RMWH-G367-MJ4X
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-06-30 17:44 – Updated: 2025-08-04 17:22Summary
URLs that are accessed by a user are commonly logged in many locations, both server- and client-side. It is thus good practice to never transmit any secret information as part of a URL. The Filebrowser violates this practice, since access tokens are used as GET parameters.
Impact
The JSON Web Token (JWT) which is used as a session identifier will get leaked to anyone having access to the URLs accessed by the user. This will give the attacker full access to the user's account and, in consequence, to all sensitive files the user has access to.
Description
Sensitive information in URLs is logged by several components (see the following examples), even if access is protected by TLS.
- The browser history
- The access logs on the affected web server
- Proxy servers or reverse proxy servers
- Third-party servers via the HTTP referrer header
In case attackers can access certain logs, they could read the included sensitive data.
Proof of Concept
When a file is downloaded via the web interface, the JWT is part of the URL:
GET /api/raw/testdir/testfile.txt?auth=eyJh[...]_r4EQ HTTP/1.1
Host: filebrowser.local:8080
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Connection: keep-alive
Referer: http://filebrowser.local:8080/files/testdir/
Cookie: auth=eyJh[...]_r4EQ
Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1
Priority: u=0, i
This also happens when a new command session is started:
GET /api/command/?auth=eyJh[...]YW8BA HTTP/1.1
Host: filebrowser.local:8080
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13
Origin: http://filebrowser.local:8080
Sec-WebSocket-Key: oqQMrF7R34D3lAkj1+ZHTw==
Connection: keep-alive, Upgrade
Cookie: auth=eyJh[...]YW8BA
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache
Upgrade: websocket
Recommended Countermeasures
Sensitive data like session tokens or user credentials should be transmitted via HTTP headers or the HTTP body only, never in the URL.

Both the SHA-1 hash of the password as well as the session tokens are included as part of the URL and therefore exposed to information leakage scenarios. An attacker capable of accessing such values (e.g., victim browser, network traffic inspection) can exploit this vulnerability to leak both the password hash as well as session tokens and bypass the authentication mechanism using a pass-the-hash attack.
