If you cannot patch yet, restrict authenticated user permissions to minimize exposure to this vulnerability.

Description

File Browser versions prior to 2.63.22 have a vulnerability where access rules for descendant files and directories are not properly validated during recursive copy, rename, and delete operations. This allows authenticated users to bypass path-based access controls by manipulating allowed parent directories to affect denied files, compromising confidentiality and integrity.
