ETK-2026-1219Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
filex versions through 0.53.0 mishandle authorization for changes to key files in end-to-end encrypted folders and encrypted files. An account or API token with write access to an affected encrypted folder can cause prior server-side key-file versions to be removed, potentially preventing recovery of its encrypted contents; such access can also enable certain unversioned conversion overwrites.
mitigation
Upgrade filex/backend to version 0.54.0. Until upgraded, restrict write access and write-scoped API tokens for encrypted folders, and maintain recoverable backups or synchronized copies of their key files.
fixed in 0.54.0
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
