Changes 06/16/2026 (v3.16.0)

release(v3.16.0): security hardening

Commit message

release(v3.16.0): security hardening

- security(auth): require trusted proxy source validation for proxy-header login
- security(webdav): block password-only WebDAV login for TOTP-enabled accounts
- security(extract): apply blocked upload filename policy before archive extraction
- security(setup): keep first-run setup closed after initial admin creation
- security(auth): resolve remember-me admin status from the current user role
- security(upload): reject encoded path separators before upload writes

Fixed

  • Proxy-header login hardening

    • Proxy-header login now accepts the configured identity header only from sources listed in FR_TRUSTED_PROXIES.
    • If you already use proxy-header login, set FR_TRUSTED_PROXIES to the reverse proxy IP or CIDR before upgrading; otherwise FileRise will ignore the identity header and users will not be auto-authenticated.
  • WebDAV MFA hardening

    • WebDAV no longer accepts password-only Basic authentication for accounts that have TOTP enabled.
    • Users who need WebDAV access should use an account without TOTP until a separate app-password flow is available.
  • Archive extraction hardening

    • Archive extraction now applies the blocked upload filename policy before files are written to disk.
    • Mixed archives can still extract allowed files while blocked file types are skipped and reported as warnings.
  • First-run setup hardening

    • FileRise now writes a setup-complete marker after initial admin creation and also creates it automatically for existing installs with users.
    • If users.txt later becomes empty, first-run setup remains closed and requires out-of-band recovery.
  • Remember-me role hardening

    • Remember-me auto-login now resolves admin status from the current user record instead of trusting role data stored with the token.
    • Rotated and newly issued remember-me tokens no longer store the admin flag.
  • Upload filename hardening

    • Upload handling now rejects encoded path separators before resolving the destination path.
    • Normal filenames and allowed folder upload paths continue to work.

  • WebDAV: block password‑only login for TOTP‑enabled accounts.
