FKIE_CVE-2026-40189
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-04-10 20:16 - Updated: 2026-10-26 22:10
Severity
Summary
goshs is a SimpleHTTPServer written in Go. Prior to 2.0.0-beta.4, goshs enforces the documented per-folder .goshs ACL/basic-auth mechanism for directory listings and file reads, but it does not enforce the same authorization checks for state-changing routes. An unauthenticated attacker can upload files with PUT, upload files with multipart POST /upload, create directories with ?mkdir, and delete files with ?delete inside a .goshs-protected directory. By deleting the .goshs file itself, the attacker can remove the folder's auth policy and then access previously protected content without credentials. This results in a critical authorization bypass affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-beta.4.

Antes de la versi\u00f3n 2.0.0-beta.4, goshs aplica el mecanismo documentado de ACL/autenticaci\u00f3n b\u00e1sica .goshs por carpeta para listados de directorios y lecturas de archivos, pero no aplica las mismas comprobaciones de autorizaci\u00f3n para rutas que cambian el estado. Un atacante no autenticado puede subir archivos con PUT, subir archivos con POST multipart /upload, crear directorios con ?mkdir y eliminar archivos con ?delete dentro de un directorio protegido por .goshs. Al eliminar el propio archivo .goshs, el atacante puede eliminar la pol\u00edtica de autenticaci\u00f3n de la carpeta y luego acceder a contenido previamente protegido sin credenciales. Esto resulta en una omisi\u00f3n cr\u00edtica de autorizaci\u00f3n que afecta a la confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la versi\u00f3n 2.0.0-beta.4."
