CVE-2026-64619: Use of Less Trusted Source in vastsa FileCodeBox
FileCodeBox before 2.4 contains a rate-limit bypass vulnerability in the IPRateLimit class that allows unauthenticated attackers to circumvent request throttling by supplying attacker-controlled X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers without verification of trusted reverse proxy origin. Attackers can supply unique spoofed IP values on each request to enumerate all possible share codes and retrieve other users' files without authentication.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-64619 affects FileCodeBox before version 2.4. The vulnerability exists in the IPRateLimit class, which fails to verify that X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers originate from trusted reverse proxies. Attackers can supply spoofed IP addresses in these headers to circumvent rate limiting, allowing them to enumerate all possible share codes and retrieve files belonging to other users without authentication. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7 (high severity), reflecting network attack vector, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass request throttling and enumerate share codes, leading to unauthorized access to other users' files. This compromises confidentiality of user data stored or shared via FileCodeBox.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict or validate the use of X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers to trusted reverse proxies only to prevent spoofing. Monitor for unusual request patterns that may indicate enumeration attempts.
