Short explanation
CVE-2026-57492 in FileRise allows setup mode to re-activate when users.txt becomes empty, enabling unauthenticated remote callers to create an initial administrator account.
This vulnerability creates a risk of unauthorized access by allowing a new administrator account to be created without requiring authentication.
What should be done?
- Upgrade to version 3.16.0 or later
- Follow vendor advisory guidance
- Protect user store integrity
Chain of evidence and sources
FileRise 3.16.0 öncesi sürümlerde, users.txt dosyası boş veya eksik olduğunda kurulum modu yeniden etkinleşir.

Show the technical text from the sources
FileRise is a self-hosted web-based file manager with multi-file upload, editing, and batch operations. Prior to 3.16.0, FileRise treats an empty or missing users.txt file as a fresh installation even after setup previously completed. If storage loss, truncation, or another failure empties the user store, an unauthenticated remote caller can detect that setup mode reopened and create the next initial administrator account through the setup flow. The application lacked a durable setup-complete marker independent of the mutable user store. This issue is fixed in version 3.16.0.
