CVE-2025-52901: File Browser allows sensitive data to be transferred in URL
(updated )
URLs that are accessed by a user are commonly logged in many locations, both server- and client-side. It is thus good practice to never transmit any secret information as part of a URL. The Filebrowser violates this practice, since access tokens are used as GET parameters.
