SCA: security update for github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2 (GHSA-3q2w-42mv-cph4)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428734

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - File Browser provides a file managing interface within a specified directory and it can be used to upload,
 delete, preview, rename and edit files. In versions on the 2.x branch prior to 2.33.10, the Command
 Execution feature of File Browser only allows the execution of shell command which have been predefined on
 a user-specific allowlist. Many tools allow the execution of arbitrary different commands, rendering this
 limitation void. The concrete impact depends on the commands being granted to the attacker, but the large
 number of standard commands allowing the execution of subcommands makes it likely that every user having
 the `Execute commands` permissions can exploit this vulnerability. Everyone who can exploit it will have
 full code execution rights with the uid of the server process. Version 2.33.10 contains a check for
 whether a command is allowed when using shell. (CVE-2025-52903)

Solution

Update the github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.33.10 or later.
