CVE-2026-30943: Gokapi vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in File Replace

March 13, 2026 (updated March 16, 2026)

An insufficient authorization check in the file replace API allows a user with only list visibility permission (UserPermListOtherUploads) to delete another user’s file by abusing the deleteNewFile flag, bypassing the requirement for UserPermDeleteOtherUploads.
