Description
Copyparty is a portable file server. In versions prior to 1.19.8, there was a missing permission-check in the shares feature (the shr global-option). When a share was created for just one file inside a folder, it was possible to access the other files inside that folder by guessing the filenames. It was not possible to descend into subdirectories in this manner; only the sibling files were accessible. This issue did not affect filekeys or dirkeys. Version 1.19.8 fixes the issue.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for copyparty, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update copyparty to 1.19.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pxvw-4w88-6x95 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
