What is CVE-2026-32761?

A vulnerability exists in the File Browser file management interface, specifically affecting versions 2.61.0 and below. This issue stems from a flaw in permission enforcement, where users who lack direct download privileges can still exfiltrate file content by creating public share links. The system appropriately checks download permissions for raw file downloads but neglects to do so when files are shared. Consequently, any authenticated user with sharing rights can disseminate files they are not authorized to download. This flaw undermines data-loss prevention measures and compromises organizational role-separation policies, allowing unauthorized users to distribute restricted files publicly. This vulnerability has been addressed and resolved in version 2.62.0.
