CVE-2026-35165: LORIS has incorrect access checks in document_repository
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.16% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: aces Loris 27.0.3.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to aces Loris 27.0.3 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
LORIS (Longitudinal Online Research and Imaging System) is a self-hosted web application that provides data- and project-management for neuroimaging research. From 21.0.0 to before 27.0.3 and 28.0.1, while the document_repository frontend was restricting file access, the backend endpoint was not correctly verifying access permissions. A user could theoretically download a file that they should not have access to, if they know or can brute force the filename. This vulnerability is fixed in 27.0.3 and 28.0.1.
