Unauthorized file overwrite via unchecked PUT uploads
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
CSRF in uploadPutHandler in andreimarcu linx-server 1.0 through 2.3.8 allows remote attackers to overwrite hosted files via PUT requests. The handler processes upload headers and writes content without applying the strictReferrerCheck used by the POST handler. Cross-origin browser exploitation normally fails under default CORS behavior, but direct clients or permissive proxies can upload, modify, or overwrite hosted content when upload authentication is not configured.
