Summary
Gokapi is a self-hosted file sharing server with automatic expiration and encryption support. Prior to version 2.2.3, the login flow accepts credential-bearing requests without CSRF protection mechanisms tied to the browser session context. The handler parses form values directly and creates a session on successful credential validation. This issue has been patched in version 2.2.3.
