CVE-2026-40885: goshs's public collaborator feed leaks .goshs ACL credentials and enables unauthorized access
(updated )
goshs leaks file-based ACL credentials through its public collaborator feed when the server is deployed without global basic auth. Requests to .goshs-protected folders are logged before authorization is enforced, and the collaborator websocket broadcasts raw request headers, including Authorization. An unauthenticated observer can capture a victim’s folder-specific basic-auth header and replay it to read, upload, overwrite, and delete files inside the protected subtree. I reproduced this on v2.0.0-beta.5, the latest supported release as of April 10, 2026.
