File Browser provides a file managing interface within a specified directory and it can be used to upload, delete, previ

File Browser provides a file managing interface within a specified directory and it can be used to upload, delete, preview, rename and edit files. Prior to version 2.34.1, a missing password policy and brute-force protection makes the authentication process insecure. Attackers could mount a brute-force attack to retrieve the passwords of all accounts in a given instance.

This issue has been patched in version 2.34.1.
