Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Summary of the record's input: File Browser (github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2) versions before 2.63.6 are affected, and the fix is in 2.63.6. The legacy module github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser at version 1.11.0 and earlier is also affected, with no fixed version listed. An attacker who can reach the login API can send a very large password, which drives CPU and memory use high enough to crash or stall the service. Upgrade github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2 to 2.63.6 or later. No fix is listed for github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser, and the source gives few details on workarounds.
