Summary

Gokapi is a self-hosted file sharing server with automatic expiration and encryption support. Prior to version 2.2.3, a registered user without privileges to create or modify file requests is able to create a short-lived API key that has the permission to do so. The user must be registered with Gokapi. If there are no users with access to the admin/upload menu, there is no impact. This issue has been patched in version 2.2.3.
