CVE-2026-126932: Zipline policy bypass in file metadata MIME type

CVE-2026-126932 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-11-11

Zipline is a file-sharing application that allows administrators to restrict which file types users can upload. A vulnerability in versions 4.6.2 through 4.8.0 allows authenticated users to bypass these restrictions by editing a file's metadata after upload, changing its MIME type to a disabled type like text/html. This could enable attackers to serve malicious content (such as JavaScript) that browsers execute, leading to account compromise or malware distribution.

How to fix

Technical details

The PATCH /api/user/files/:id endpoint accepts a user-supplied "type" parameter and updates the file's MIME type without validating it against the administrator's disabled MIME type policy. An authenticated attacker uploads a permitted file, then uses PATCH to change its type to a disabled value like text/html; when the file is served via /raw/:id, the browser renders it with the spoofed Content-Type. The fix (commit fc8e886) adds enforceMimetypePolicy() validation to the type field during metadata updates.
