CVE-2026-54685 PUBLISHED

FileBrowser Quantum has Username Enumeration via Authentication Timing Side-Channel

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 15.06.2026 Published: 20.07.2026 Updated: 20.07.2026

FileBrowser Quantum is a free, self-hosted, web-based file manager. Prior to version 1.3.2-beta, the /api/auth/login authentication endpoint does not execute in constant time. When a non-existent username is supplied, the server returns a 401/403 response almost immediately. When a valid username is provided, the server performs a bcrypt password comparison, causing a measurable delay in the response time. Version 1.3.2-beta patches the issue.
