CVE-2026-55499
Summary
When an authenticated recipient of a single-file share opens the file event stream (GET /api/v4/file/events?uri=<share-root>), Cloudreve validates the URI by listing it and then subscribes the caller to parent.ID(). For a single-file share, the share navigator resolves the bare share-root URI to the owner-side parent folder of the shared file (not the file), while the visible listing is filtered down to just the shared file. The event hub then keys topics by numeric file ID only and, on each file change, fans the event out to subscribers of every ancestor topic, filtering only the client ID that caused the event — never the subscriber's share scope.
Consequently, a recipient of one shared file can receive Server-Sent Events (type, sibling path/name, rename target, hashed file ID) for other files and subfolders in the owner's parent folder that were never shared. Contents are not disclosed; file-activity metadata is.
Details
Root cause (verified at 26b6b10)
1. Events route — authenticated, feature-flagged, no share-scope check (routers/router.go):
file := v4.Group("file"); file.Use(middleware.RequiredScopes(types.ScopeFilesRead))
file.GET("events",
middleware.LoginRequired(),
middleware.IsFunctionEnabled(func(c *gin.Context) bool { return dep.SettingProvider().EventHubEnabled(c) }),
controllers.FromQueryexplorer.ExplorerEventService, controllers.HandleExplorerEventsPush)
EventHubEnabled defaults true (inventory/setting.go: "fs_event_push_enabled":"1").
2. Service subscribes to the listed parent's ID (service/explorer/events.go):
parent, _, err := m.List(c, uri, &manager.ListArgs{Page:0, PageSize:1}) // also runs share validity/password
...
rx, resumed, err := eventHub.Subscribe(c, parent.ID(), requestInfo.ClientID)
3. Single-file share Root swaps the share root to the owner parent (share_navigator.go):
n.shareRoot = newFile(nil, share.Edges.File)
...
if n.shareRoot.Type() == types.FileTypeFile {
n.singleFileShare = true
n.shareRoot = n.shareRoot.Par
