High CVSS 8.1
CVE-2026-72921
NVD analysis in progress
SeaweedFS is a distributed storage system. Prior to 4.24, the weed/server/filer_server_handlers.go allowed_prefixes authorization check used strings.HasPrefix on raw path strings, so a filer JWT scoped to /tenant1 also authorized sibling paths such as /tenant1234, /tenant1-old, and /tenant1backup, enabling cross-tenant reads and writes with a valid scoped token. This issue is fixed in version 4.24.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data.
- Weakness
- An authorisation check exists but its logic is wrong.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
