Recommendation: Monitor — no exploitation signal at the moment.
FileBrowser Quantum is a free, self-hosted, web-based file manager. Prior to 1.3.1-stable and 1.3.9-beta, attacker-controlled path input is joined with a trusted base path prior to sanitization, allowing traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to escape the intended shared directory. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker possessing a valid public share hash with delete permissions enabled can delete arbitrary files outside the shared directory within the share owner’s configured storage scope. This affects public/api/resources and public/api/resources/bulk. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.1-stable and 1.3.9-beta.
