Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 6 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately upgrade all Forceu Gokapi instances to version 2.2.3 or later, where the CSRF vulnerability is patched. In addition to upgrading, administrators should implement strict Content Security Policies (CSP) to limit the ability of malicious sites to execute scripts or submit forms. Employing browser security features such as SameSite cookies can reduce CSRF risks by restricting cookie transmission on cross-site requests. Monitoring and logging login attempts for unusual patterns can help detect potential exploitation attempts. User education to recognize phishing attempts and avoid clicking suspicious links is critical since exploitation requires user interaction. Where possible, multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enforced to reduce the impact of unauthorized session creation. Finally, developers should review other parts of the application for similar CSRF weaknesses and adopt secure coding practices including CSRF tokens and origin checks.

Description

Gokapi is a self-hosted file sharing server with automatic expiration and encryption support. Prior to version 2.2.3, the login flow accepts credential-bearing requests without CSRF protection mechanisms tied to the browser session context. The handler parses form values directly and creates a session on successful credential validation. This issue has been patched in version 2.2.3.

Impact

This vulnerability can allow attackers to perform unauthorized login actions on behalf of users by exploiting the lack of CSRF protections in the login flow. For organizations, this can lead to unauthorized access to file sharing sessions, exposing sensitive or confidential data. Attackers could leverage this to create sessions with attacker-controlled credentials or hijack legitimate user sessions, undermining data confidentiality and integrity. While availability is not impacted, the breach of confidentiality and integrity can have serious consequences, especially for organizations relying on Gokapi for secure file sharing. The risk is heightened in environments where users have elevated privileges or where sensitive data is frequently shared. Since exploitation requires user interaction but no elevated privileges, phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to trigger the attack. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially if attackers develop exploit techniques.

Compound weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumCWE Top 25 (2025): #3OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation
Ensure that the application is free of cross-site scripting issues (CWE-79), because most CSRF defenses can be bypassed using attacker-controlled script.
Architecture and Design
Generate a unique nonce for each form, place the nonce into the form, and verify the nonce upon receipt of the form. Be sure that the nonce is not predictable (CWE-330).
