Cross-folder file tampering via mismatched authorization keys
Published Aug 12, 2026 · Updated Aug 12, 2026
Incorrect authorization in Admidio before 5.0.10 allows remote authenticated users to rename readable files and alter descriptions. The file_rename_save handler authorizes folder_uuid, but renameFile acts on the separately supplied file_uuid after enforcing only download access to its source folder. An account needs upload rights to any folder and view rights to the target folder; exploitation changes file names and metadata without moving, reading, or deleting files.
