# File Browser vulnerable to insecure password handling Advisory record · `GHSA-cm2r-rg7r-p7gg` - **Identifiers:** `GHSA-cm2r-rg7r-p7gg` · `CVE-2025-52997` · `GO-2025-3792` - **State:** Confirmed - **Severity:** CVSS 5.9 Medium - **Critical:** No - **Weakness (CWE):** [CWE-307](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/307.html) · [CWE-521](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/521.html) · [CWE-1392](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/1392.html) - **Tags:** [Authentication bypass](https://agentprime.io/advisories/tag/auth-bypass.md) · [Hard-coded credentials](https://agentprime.io/advisories/tag/hard-coded-credentials.md) · [CWE-1392](https://agentprime.io/advisories/tag/cwe-1392.md) - **Published:** 30 Jun 2025 - **Updated:** 10 Sept 2026 - **Reviewed by a person:** No Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 30 Jun 2025, 17:50 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known. ## Affected packages - `github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2` (Go): affected `<2.34.1`; fixed in `2.34.1` - `github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser` (Go): affected `<=1.11.0`; no fixed version yet ## Machine-written summary Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person. > File Browser (github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2) before 2.34.1 lets users set trivial passwords, uses a well-known default password for the initial admin account, and has no brute-force protection on the login endpoint. An attacker with network access to the login endpoint can guess passwords for accounts, possibly including administrator accounts. Upgrade to version 2.34.1 or later. The older github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser module, version 1.11.0 and earlier, has no fixed version listed.

Once a person has reviewed it, this page will say what’s vulnerable, what has to be true for your app to be affected, and how to check. ## Severity and exploitation - 5.9 Medium, CVSS 3.1: `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N`, from CNA (GitHub_M) - **CISA KEV:** Not listed. - **EPSS:** 0.0054, the 45th percentile, on 5 Nov 2026: FIRST’s estimate of the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. ## Timeline - 31 Oct 2026, 14:14 UTC: First seen by agentprime - 31 Oct 2026, 14:14 UTC: [Confirmed by OSV](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-cm2r-rg7r-p7gg) ## Sources - [GitHub Advisory Database: GHSA-cm2r-rg7r-p7gg](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-cm2r-rg7r-p7gg) - [OSV: GHSA-cm2r-rg7r-p7gg](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-cm2r-rg7r-p7gg) - - - - - - Facts on this page come from the GitHub Advisory Database (CC-BY 4.0), OSV and the other sources listed, as published. We don’t reproduce full advisory descriptions, which can contain exploit code. ## Check whether this affects you A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet. - With the agentprime MCP server (), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: - In a browser: reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it. - Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, - As JSON: , or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages () --- The web page: .
