CVE-2026-54093: File Browser: FilePath traversal in download-as-zip/tar via Windows-style backslash separators in stored filenames

June 12, 2026

filebrowser builds the download-as-zip / download-as-tar archive entry names with filepath.ToSlash, which on a Linux host is a no-op for backslashes (\ is only a path separator on Windows). A file whose name contains Windows-style traversal (..\..\..\evil.txt) is accepted by the resource handlers, stored on the Linux filesystem with a literal backslash name, and then emitted verbatim as the archive entry name. Windows extractors (Explorer, 7-Zip, WinRAR, .NET ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory) interpret \ as a path separator and write the extracted file outside the extraction directory — arbitrary file write on the victim who downloads and extracts the archive.
