GHSA-rmxw-pq4x-3fvh: goshs: File-based .goshs ACL authorization bypass via the ?bulk zip-download route (unauthenticated read; residual of GHSA-wvhv-qcqf-f3cx)
GHSA-wvhv-qcqf-f3cx fixed the per-folder .goshs ACL bypass on the state-changing routes (PUT/POST upload/?mkdir/?delete) and added recursive ACL resolution, and its description states the read/list path correctly enforces .goshs. That premise does not hold for the ?bulk zip-download route. bulkDownload (httpserver/updown.go) takes one or more ?file= parameters, runs each through sanitizePath(fs.Webroot, file), and streams the contents back as a ZIP without ever calling findEffectiveACL/applyCustomAuth. It is dispatched from earlyBreakParameters (?bulk) before the normal doDir/doFile/sendFile flow that performs the ACL check. An unauthenticated attacker can therefore read any file under the webroot protected solely by a .goshs ACL, bypassing both the folder auth (401 on the normal path) and the per-file block list (404 on the normal path). Same authorization-inconsistency root cause as the original advisory, surviving on a read route the fix did not cover.
Proof of concept (live, against the fixed v2.1.0 build which includes fix commit f212c4f4, served with no global -b auth, only a per-folder .goshs):
GET /protected/secret.txt -> 401 (ACL enforced on normal path)
GET /protected/secret.txt -u admin:admin -> 200
GET /?bulk&file=/protected/secret.txt -> 200, zip contains the protected file contents (BYPASS)
GET /?bulk&file=/protected/blocked.txt -> 200, zip contains the block-listed file (block bypass)
GET /protected/secret.txt?share -> 403 'Sharing disabled when auth is disabled' (correctly gated, NOT a bypass)
Impact: any unauthenticated network attacker can read files an operator protected with the documented per-folder .goshs ACL/basic-auth feature, by requesting them through ?bulk. Confidentiality only (the write/delete equivalents were closed by GHSA-wvhv-qcqf-f3cx). Applies to deployments relying on .goshs as the access boundary (a server-wide -b basic auth, if configured, also gates ?bulk via its middleware).
Remediation: enforce the effective .goshs ACL ins
