SCA: security update for github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2 (GHSA-w7qc-6grj-w7r8)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428736

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. Prior to version 2.33.10, the implementation of the allowlist is
erroneous, allowing a user to execute more shell commands than they are authorized for. The concrete
impact of this vulnerability depends on the commands configured, and the binaries installed on the server
or in the container image. Due to the missing separation of scopes on the OS-level, this could give an
attacker access to all files managed the application, including the File Browser database. This issue has
been patched in version 2.33.10. (CVE-2025-52995)
