Summary
File Browser versions from 2.50.0 through 2.63.21 fail to validate JWT expiration when proxy authentication is configured with a non-default logout page. Attackers with a previously valid token can access protected routes and administrative endpoints indefinitely, and exchange expired tokens for fresh ones via the renewal endpoint.
