CVE-2026-129164 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 8.2 (high) and affects free-fs; no fixed version is listed yet.

## Summary

Dromara free-fs contains an authorization bypass that lets a remote attacker, without logging in, access files in code-protected shares because the share code is checked only in the client. An attacker who knows a share ID can list and download its files without the code, including on preview-only shares.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Who should check

Teams running dromara free-fs 2.0.1 through 2.3.1 that use code-protected or preview-only file shares.

## Affected

- dromara free-fs: from 2.0.1, through 2.3.1

## Description

Dromara free-fs 2.0.1 through 2.3.1 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to access code-protected shares because share codes are enforced only client-side. Attackers knowing a share ID can call the share items and download endpoints to list and download files without the code, even on preview-only shares.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-129164 (Dromara free-fs 2.0.1 through 2.3.1 Share Code and Permission Scope Bypass), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-129164 (entry last updated 2026-11-13):
Affected:
- dromara free-fs: from 2.0.1, through 2.3.1
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- The target share is protected by a share code. (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/dromara-free-fs-2.0.1-through-2.3.1-share-code-and-permission-scope-bypass)
- The attacker must know the share ID. (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/dromara-free-fs-2.0.1-through-2.3.1-share-code-and-permission-scope-bypass)
- Affected versions are free-fs 2.0.1 through 2.3.1. (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/dromara-free-fs-2.0.1-through-2.3.1-share-code-and-permission-scope-bypass)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, no login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-129164 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-129164 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-129164 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-129164

### What does this mean?

Share codes are enforced only on the client side, so someone who knows a share ID can call the share items and download endpoints and list and download files without the code. This includes preview-only shares.

Source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/dromara-free-fs-2.0.1-through-2.3.1-share-code-and-permission-scope-bypass

### Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-129164?

free-fs: from 2.0.1 through 2.3.1.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-129164

### Am I affected, and how do I check?

The affected range is free-fs 2.0.1 through 2.3.1, and only shares protected by a share code are described. To check, compare the installed free-fs version with that range and see whether the share in question uses a share code.
