Overview

psitransfer is a Simple open source self-hosted file sharing solution

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type due to the absence of restrictions on the endpoint, which allows the creation of a path for uploading a file in a file distribution. An attacker can add arbitrary files to the distribution by sending a POST request to /files with a specific Upload-Metadata header followed by a PATCH request to /files/{id} with arbitrary content.
