Details
A vulnerability has been found in mrmn2 PdfDing up to 1.7.0 and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects the function check_shared_access_allowed of the component Download Endpoint. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-863. The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. This allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. CVE summarizes:
PdfDing is a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. Prior to version 1.7.1, check_shared_access_allowed() validates only session existence — it does not check SharedPdf.inactive (expiration / max views) or SharedPdf.deleted. The Serve and Download endpoints rely solely on this function, allowing previously-authorized users to access shared PDF content after expiration, view limit, or soft-deletion. This issue has been patched in version 1.7.1.
The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-34586 since 03/30/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.
