CVE-2026-94619 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.9 · Published 2026-11-06

FileGator is a multi-user file manager used to store and organize documents across user accounts. A low-privileged user with upload permission can exploit a flaw in the POST /upload endpoint to read, modify, or delete other users' temporary files—including pending archives or login lockfiles—by manipulating upload parameters. This allows unauthorized cross-user data disclosure, modification, and deletion within the temporary directory.

  ```


## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in UploadController.php where the request-supplied resumableFilename parameter is used directly as a key into shared temporary storage without user namespacing. An authenticated attacker with upload permission can set resumableTotalChunks and resumableTotalSize to zero to trigger a read of pre-existing temporary files with an attacker-chosen name, then store or delete them in their own directory. The flaw affects multi-user deployments with distinct per-user home directories and is mitigated by restricting access to the tmpfs temporary directory itself.
