AI-suggested

Apply the official fix available in FileGator version 7.15.0, which namespaces temporary upload files by user and separates the display filename from the storage key. Do not rely solely on filtering the filename parameter, as this may corrupt legitimate filenames. Users should upgrade to 7.15.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability.

Description

FileGator versions prior to 7.15.0 have a missing authorization vulnerability in the POST /upload endpoint, allowing a user with upload permission to read, append to, and delete temporary files belonging to other users. This occurs because the request-supplied filename is used directly without proper user namespacing or filtering, enabling cross-user access within the shared temporary directory. The vulnerability also allows deletion of login rate-limit lockfiles, potentially bypassing login throttling.
