Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in error311 FileRise up to 1.3.x. It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a insufficient permissions or privileges vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-280. The product does not handle or incorrectly handles when it has insufficient privileges to access resources or functionality as specified by their permissions. This may cause it to follow unexpected code paths that may leave the product in an invalid state. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

FileRise is a self-hosted web-based file manager with multi-file upload, editing, and batch operations. Prior to version 1.4.0, a business logic flaw in FileRise’s file/folder handling allows low-privilege users to perform unauthorized operations (view/delete/modify) on files created by other users. The root cause was inferring ownership/visibility from folder names (e.g., a folder named after a username) and missing server-side authorization/ownership checks across file operation endpoints. This amounted to an IDOR pattern: an attacker could operate on resources identified only by predictable names. This issue has been patched in version 1.4.0 and further hardened in version 1.5.0. A workaround for this issue involves restricting non-admin users to read-only or disable delete/rename APIs server-side, avoid creating top-level folders named after other usernames, and adding server-side checks that verify ownership before delete/rename/move.

The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2025-62509 since 10/15/2025. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1222.
