CVE-2026-77427 error311 CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders of manual FileRise installations should assess exposure and verify version and configuration to mitigate the vulnerability. This includes operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams responsible for ensuring the security and integrity of FileRise installations.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-77427 allows decryption of secrets in manual FileRise installations, defenders should assess exposure and verify version and configuration.

• Decrypt TOTP secrets or credentials if an attacker obtains ciphertext-bearing account or configuration files
• Verify version and configuration to assess exposure
• Upgrade to 3.22.0 to fix the issue

Technical summary

FileRise manual installs from 3.9.0 to 3.22.0 have an insecure default cryptographic key fallback, allowing decryption of secrets if an attacker obtains ciphertext-bearing account or configuration files. The issue is fixed in version 3.22.0. Docker installations are not affected. Existing installations do not have their encrypted state automatically rotated. Defenders should assess exposure and verify version and configuration to mitigate the vulnerability. The vulnerability class is related to insecure default cryptographic key management.

Defensive priority

Assess exposure in manual FileRise installations, verify version and configuration, and upgrade to 3.22.0.

Recommended defensive actions

• Assess exposure in manual FileRise installations
• Verify version and configuration
• Upgrade to 3.22.0
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets
• Track exceptions and retest remediated assets
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments
