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 access endpoints (/api/public/dl/ and /api/public/share/) fail to re-validate the share owner's current Share and Download permissions before serving shared files. While share creation is correctly guarded by withPermShare (which requires both Share=true and Download=true), the public access wrapper withHashFile retrieves the share link and owner user but never checks whether those permissions are still granted. Consequently, when an administrator revokes a user's Share or Download permission, any previously created share links remain fully accessible to unauthenticated visitors, violating the intended authorization policy.",
"reports": [
{
"title": "Public share endpoints skip owner permission re-validation, allowing access after Share/Download permissions are revoked",
"severity": "HIGH",
"summary": "The withHashFile wrapper in http/public.go, which guards /api/public/dl/ and /api/public/share/, loads the share link and the owner user but never checks d.user.Perm.Share or d.user.Perm.Download before serving the file. By contrast, the share creation flow in http/share.go uses withPermShare which correctly enforces both permissions. This inconsistency means public share links persist indefinitely even after the owner's Share or Download permissions are revoked.",
"rootCauseAnalysis": "The withHashFile middleware (http/public.go:18) performs these steps: (1) look up the share link by hash, (2) authenticate the share request (password/token), (3) fetch the owner user from the store, (4) use the user's filesystem to load and serve the requested file. Step 3 retrieves the user with their current permissions, but step 4 proceeds without checking user.Perm.Share or user.Perm.Download. The intended policy—visible in withPermShare at http/share.go:22-24—is that both Share and Download must be true for any share-related action. Since the public endpoint bypasses this check, revoking those permissions has no effect on existing share links.",
"impact": "Any visitor with a previously shared link can continue to download or browse shared files even after an administrator explicitly revokes the owner's Share or Download permissions. This breaks the authorization boundary: administrators expect that disabling a user's share/download capability immediately cuts off all public access to that user's shared files. In practice, sensitive files remain exposed until each individual share link is manually deleted, which is error-prone and may not be discoverable.",
"attackPath": "1. A user with Share=true and Download=true creates a public share link via POST /api/share (guarded by withPermShare). 2. An administrator revokes the user's Share or Download permission (PUT /api/users/{id}, setting perm.share=false or perm.download=false). 3. An unauthenticated visitor accesses GET /api/public/dl/{hash}/filename or GET /api/public/share/{hash} using the old share hash. 4. The request hits wiTool calls
