Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
goshs is a feature-rich single-binary file server for red teamers and developers. Prior to 2.1.4, the httpserver/server.go wdGuard handled WebDAV MOVE as a write-only method and did not enforce --no-delete, allowing WebDAV clients to delete or overwrite files via MOVE with Overwrite: T. This issue is fixed in version 2.1.4.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

In goshs prior to 2.1.4, the wdGuard function in httpserver/server.go incorrectly handled WebDAV MOVE operations as write-only and failed to enforce the --no-delete flag. This allowed WebDAV clients to bypass delete restrictions by using the Overwrite: T header in MOVE requests, enabling unauthorized file deletion or overwriting.

MitigationUpgrade goshs to version 2.1.4 or later to obtain the patch. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict or disable WebDAV access and monitor for suspicious MOVE requests with Overwrite headers.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify goshs installation and version
    Run 'goshs --version' or check the binary version if installed, or inspect the running process/container image tag
    Affected if Version is present and is prior to 2.1.4
  2. Confirm WebDAV is enabled
    Inspect the goshs startup command or configuration for WebDAV-related flags such as --webdav, or check if port 80/443 is serving WebDAV endpoints
    Affected if WebDAV is actively enabled and accessible
  3. Verify --no-delete flag configuration
    Review the goshs startup flags or config file to determine if --no-delete is configured for the WebDAV service
    Affected if --no-delete flag is set (the intended protection that is bypassed by the vulnerability)
  4. Test MOVE request behavior with Overwrite header
    Send a WebDAV MOVE request with 'Overwrite: T' header to an existing file via an authenticated WebDAV client (curl -X MOVE -H 'Overwrite: T' -u user:pass source dest)
    Affected if The MOVE request successfully overwrites or deletes the target file despite --no-delete being enabled

The environment is affected if running goshs version prior to 2.1.4 with WebDAV enabled and the --no-delete flag configured, as MOVE requests can bypass deletion prevention controls.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade goshs to version 2.1.4 or later to obtain the patch. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict or disable WebDAV access and monitor for suspicious MOVE requests with Overwrite headers.

Recommended fix High confidence

2.1.4

  1. Check current goshs version by running 'goshs --version' or checking the binary
  2. Download goshs version 2.1.4 from the official releases (github.com)
  3. Replace the existing goshs binary with the version 2.1.4 binary
  4. Verify the new version is installed by running 'goshs --version'
  5. Restart the goshs service if it is running
