Vulnerabilities

PdfDing is a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. Prior to version 1.7.0, an access-control vulnerability allows unauthenticated users to retrieve password-protected shared PDFs by directly calling the file-serving endpoint without completing the password verification flow. This results in unauthorized access to confidential documents that users expected to be protected by a shared-link password. This issue has been patched in version 1.7.0.

PdfDing is a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. Prior to version 1.7.1, check_shared_access_allowed() validates only session existence — it does not check SharedPdf.inactive (expiration / max views) or SharedPdf.deleted. The Serve and Download endpoints rely solely on this function, allowing previously-authorized users to access shared PDF content after expiration, view limit, or soft-deletion. This issue has been patched in version 1.7.1.
