Unknown · Filebrowser · CVE-2021-46398
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Filebrowser versions prior to 2.18.0
**Description**
A Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability exists in Filebrowser that allows attackers to create a backdoor user with admin privilege and get access to the filesystem via a malicious HTML webpage that is sent to the victim. This can lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) as an admin can run commands using the FileBrowser.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 2.18.0, update to version 2.18.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the FileBrowser to minimize the risk of exploitation.
