CVE-2026-54707: OnionShare Receive mode writes uploaded files even when file uploads are disabled
OnionShare CLI/Desktop 2.6.3 does not enforce the Receive mode disable_files setting at the file upload sink. When a Receive service is configured as a text-message-only endpoint (--disable-files / “Disable uploading files”), a remote sender who can reach the OnionShare service can still send a crafted multipart request containing file[]; OnionShare writes the uploaded bytes to disk before the route handler skips file accounting.
This affects the shipped onionshare-cli Python package and the desktop application because both use the same onionshare_cli.web.receive_mode request-streaming implementation.
