Start from http/public.go, especially the public share access wrapper identified in the advisory, and compare it with the permission guard in http/share.go. This source file has a known vulnerability sink in it. Traverse the codebase and report the vulnerability. You can report multiple vulnerabilities. Ground the report in the exact request path, the user/share lookup flow, and the missing permission re-validation before serving public downloads.

{
"executiveSummary": "The public share download endpoints (`/api/public/dl/` and `/api/public/share/`) omit authorization checks for the owner's current permissions before serving content. In contrast to `share.go`, which explicitly checks if the current user possesses `Perm.Share` and `Perm.Download` prior to accessing personal shares (`withPermShare(fn)` wrapper), public access (`http/public.go`'s `withHashFile(fn)`) authenticates the share token or password but never verifies if the user matching `link.UserID` still has the `Share` and `Download` permissions. \nAs a result, if an administrator revokes a user's share and/or download permissions, any old share links they had generated earlier will remain active and continue serving the contents.",
"reports": [
{
"title": "Share & Download Permission Bypass in Public File Access",
"severity": "MODERATE",
"summary": "Missing permission revalidation in public share access lets users with revoked Share/Download permissions keep serving active public links.",
"rootCauseAnalysis": "The `withHashFile` wrapper in `http/public.go`, which handles all public share accesses, looks up the sharing user (`user, err := d.store.Users.Get(d.server.Root, link.UserID)`) to scope file access properly using the user's filesystem and root, but fails to check the user's global sharing and downloading permissions (`user.Perm.Share` and `user.Perm.Download`). The user is correctly resolved but their permissions are effectively ignored during file service in public mode.",
"impact": "The omission allows users with revoked permissions to maintain access to files via stale public share links, entirely bypassing the intended authorization controls for sharing and downloading on the platform. The platform serves files unauthorized by the user's explicit application permissions.",
"attackPath": "An administrator grants a user 'Share' and 'Download' permissions. The user uses the `/api/share` endpoint to create a public link to a sensitive file.\nLater, the administrator determines the user should no longer be able to share or download files, and revokes these permissions. \nHowever, the previously generated public URL hits the `/api/public/dl/` or `/api/public/share/` endpoint. This routes to `publicDlHandler` or `publicShareHandler` wrapped in `withHashFile`.\n`withHashFile` loads the share based on the share ID (`r.URL.Path`), checks share link authentications (token or share-level password), then loads the sharing user (`d.user`). \nIt does not re-check `d.user.Perm.Share` or `d.user.Perm.Download`. It reads and serves the file data.\nThe public caller can successfully download the file, bypassing the latest permission constraints configured for the sharing user.",
"stepsToReproduce": [
"1. Set up a user account (`user1`) with \"Share\" and \"Download\" permissions.\n2. Authenticate as `user1` and upload a file.\n3. Share the file and obtain the generated share linkTool calls
