CVE-2026-57492— FileRise: Setup mode re-activates when users.txt becomes empty, allowing unauthenticated admin creation

Quick assessment

Affected
error311 FileRise
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

FileRise 是一个自托管的基于 Web 的文件管理器，支持多文件上传、编辑和批量操作。在版本 3.16.0 之前，如果 users.txt 文件为空或缺失，FileRise 会将其视为全新安装，即使之前已完成安装设置。一旦由于存储丢失、文件截断或其他故障导致用户存储被清空，未认证的攻击者可以检测到安装设置模式被重新开启，并通过安装流程创建下一个初始管理员账户。该应用程序缺乏一个独立于可变用户存储的安装完成持久化标记。此问题已在版本 3.16.0 中得到修复。

Vulnerability Title
FileRise: Setup mode re-activates when users.txt becomes empty, allowing unauthenticated admin creation
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
FileRise is a self-hosted web-based file manager with multi-file upload, editing, and batch operations. Prior to 3.16.0, FileRise treats an empty or missing users.txt file as a fresh installation even after setup previously completed. If storage loss, truncation, or another failure empties the user store, an unauthenticated remote caller can detect that setup mode reopened and create the next initial administrator account through the setup flow. The application lacked a durable setup-complete marker independent of the mutable user store. This issue is fixed in version 3.16.0.
