Plain English Summary

AI-powered analysis for quick understanding

An attacker can exploit a flaw in Gokapi to upload a file with malicious JavaScript in its name, which runs every time the upload list is viewed, potentially allowing them to execute harmful actions on the server. This vulnerability primarily affects systems before version 2.0.0, where all authenticated users could access and modify all files, making it easier for an attacker if multiple users are present.

Technical Description

Gokapi is a self-hosted file sharing server with automatic expiration and encryption support. When using end-to-end encryption, a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability can be exploited by uploading a file with JavaScript code embedded in the filename. After upload and every time someone opens the upload list, the script is then parsed. Prior to version 2.0.0, there was no user permission system implemented, therefore all authenticated users were already able to see and modify all resources, even if end-to-end encrypted, as the encryption key had to be the same for all users using a version prior to 2.0.0. If a user is the only authenticated user using Gokapi, they are not affected. This issue has been fixed in v2.0.0. A possible workaround would be to disable end-to-end encryption.

CVE-2025-48495Medium

This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript into the API key overview, which can then execute when another user views that section. It affects all authenticated users before version 2.0.0, as there were no permissions to restrict access, but if a user is the only one using Gokapi, they are not at risk.
