GHSA-gv5w-hfx8-8cwq SeaweedFS: Filer JWT allowed_prefixes literal prefix match allows cross-tenant access to sibling paths

• Go github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs: < 0.0.0-20260512171048-05ed5c9ae8a2 → fixed in 0.0.0-20260512171048-05ed5c9ae8a2

Impact When a filer JWT restricts a token to a set of path prefixes via `allowed_prefixes`, the authorization check used a literal byte-prefix match (`strings.HasPrefix`). A token scoped to `/tenant1` therefore also authorized requests to sibling paths such as `/tenant1234`, `/tenant1-old`, and `/tenant1backup`. In a multi-tenant deployment this lets the holder of one tenant's token access another tenant's data. Because `allowed_prefixes` gates both read and write tokens, the impact covers cross-tenant reads and writes. A valid scoped token is required, so this is an authorization bypass rather than a fully unauthenticated flaw. Affected component • `weed/server/filer_server_handlers.go` (JWT `allowed_prefixes` authorization check) Patches Fixed in 4.24. The check now matches on `/`-separated path components after `path.Clean` normalisation, so `/tenant1` authorizes only `/tenant1` and its descendants — not `/tenant1234` or other sibling paths. Workarounds Where feasible, choose prefix names that are not string-prefixes of one another (e.g. keep a trailing separator convention). Upgrade to 4.24.
