CVE-2026-6572
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 · uneditedA security vulnerability has been detected in Collabora KodExplorer up to 4.52. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /app/controller/share.class.php of the component fileUpload Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument fileUpload leads to improper authorization. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The attack's complexity is rated as high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 · moderate confidenceImproper authorization vulnerability in the fileUpload endpoint of /app/controller/share.class.php in Collabora KodExplorer up to v4.52 allows remote attackers to upload files without proper authorization. The attack is complex but publicly exploited.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed KodExplorer versionCheck the version file or admin panel for the current KodExplorer version numberAffected if Version is 4.52 or lower (any version up to and including 4.52)
-
Locate the vulnerable fileVerify the existence of /app/controller/share.class.php in the web root directoryAffected if The file share.class.php exists in the /app/controller/ directory
-
Confirm the fileUpload endpoint is presentInspect share.class.php for a function named fileUpload or upload that handles file uploadsAffected if The fileUpload method/function exists in share.class.php
-
Assess share functionality exposureDetermine if the share functionality is accessible to unauthenticated or untrusted users (check routing, access controls, or firewall rules for /index.php?/share or /api/share endpoints)Affected if The share endpoint is accessible without proper authorization or from untrusted networks
You are affected if running KodExplorer version 4.52 or lower AND the share.class.php file with its fileUpload endpoint is present and accessible in your environment.

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.
From vendor dataSince vendor did not respond, implement manual authorization checks on the share.class.php fileUpload endpoint or upgrade to a patched version if available; consider disabling the share functionality until remediated.
