Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, where the product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. In Github.com/forceu/gokapi, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## Summary An insufficient authorization check in the file replace API allows a user with only list visibility permission (`UserPermListOtherUploads`) to delete another user's file by abusing the `deleteNewFile` flag, bypassing the requirement for `UserPermDeleteOtherUploads`. ### Impact Any authenticated user with `PERM_REPLACE` (replace own files) and `PERM_LIST` (view other users' uploads) can delete any other user's file without needing `PERM_DELETE`.
