Description

Share-link `?token=…` redemption races past download limit Ecosystem: Go Package: `goshs.de/goshs/v2` (`github.com/patrickhener/goshs`) Affected: ` 0 || entry.DownloadLimit == -1 { // ...serve file... // = current.DownloadLimit { delete(fs.SharedLinks, token) } fs.sharedLinksMu.Unlock() ``` Between line 978 (`RUnlock`) and line 1008 (`Lock`), any number of goroutines can interleave and each observes the same pre-increment limit. Proof of concept ```bash goshs -p 18000 -d /tmp/r -b admin:pw & echo data > /tmp/r/f.txt operator issues a one-shot share SHARE=$(curl -su admin:pw "http://localhost:18000/f.txt?share&limit=1") TK=$(echo "$SHARE" | sed -n 's/.*token=\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p') attacker races two redemptions curl -so /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" "http://localhost:18000/?token=$TK" & \ curl -so /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" "http://localhost:18000/?token=$TK" & \ wait observed: 200 / 200 (both succeed) -> limit=1 redeemed twice ``` Reproduced 5/5 times in a row on a 2026-era M-series Mac during verification. Impact A "single-use" share intended to deliver a one-shot secret can be redeemed N times by N concurrent clients. Combined with any token-leak vector (mail forwarding, browser history, intercepted link, etc.) this multiplies the exfiltration window. Suggested fix Reserve under the write lock *before* serving — refund only if the serve fails: ```go fs.sharedLinksMu.Lock() entry, ok := fs.SharedLinks[token] if !ok || time.Now().After(entry.Expires) || (entry.DownloadLimit != -1 && entry.Downloaded >= entry.DownloadLimit) { fs.sharedLinksMu.Unlock(); http.NotFound(w, r); return } entry.Downloaded++ if entry.DownloadLimit != -1 && entry.Downloaded >= entry.DownloadLimit { delete(fs.SharedLinks, token) } else { fs.SharedLinks[token] = entry } fs.sharedLinksMu.Unlock() // ...serve... ``` Add a regression test that races two requests against a `limit=1` token and asserts exactly one `200`. Reporter: Nishant Verma. Reproduced against `goshs v2.0.9` (commit `8fc1e91`) on 2026-05-27.
