Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Flare, a self-hostable file sharing platform. An authenticated user, who is not the owner of a private file, can access and retrieve the content of that file by knowing its URL and using the raw and direct file routes. This is due to inconsistent access control checks compared to other endpoints, leading to unauthorized information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-03-06 22:02:10 UTC
Flare is a Next.js-based, self-hostable file sharing platform that integrates with screenshot tools. Prior to version 1.7.2, the raw and direct file routes only block unauthenticated users from accessing private files. Any authenticated, non‑owner user who knows the file URL can retrieve the content, which is inconsistent with stricter checks used by other endpoints. This issue has been patched in version 1.7.2.
