Eclipse Theia file-upload allows unauthenticated file overwrites

high severity · published 2026-08-05

An unauthenticated attacker can overwrite arbitrary files on the server by sending a crafted multipart request to the file-upload endpoint, picking any absolute target path. In browser deployments the connection token is only enforced on WebSocket upgrades, so the endpoint is also reachable cross-origin.
