Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who can exploit this issue?

An attacker needs to possess a share link. No authentication or user interaction is required beyond access to that link.

2

What files can be accessed through the bypass?

The attacker can request arbitrary file paths under the shared base directory, rather than being limited to the entries allowed by the share link. The available data does not indicate access outside that base directory.

3

Are installations running version 5.0.5 affected?

Yes. The issue affects ZFile through version 5.0.5, so version 5.0.5 is included in the affected range.
