How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2/runner to version 2.33.8 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Argument Injection through the Runner.exec process. An attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the server by uploading or renaming a file with a crafted filename containing shell metacharacters, which are unsafely substituted into shell command hooks configured by an administrator. This is only exploitable if the administrator has enabled shell-based hooks and included unsanitized variables such as $FILE in the hook command configuration, despite warnings.

Note:

This feature has been disabled by default for all installations from v2.33.8 onwards, including for existent installations. To exploit this vulnerability, the instance administrator must turn on a feature and ignore all the warnings about known vulnerabilities.
