CVE-2026-35165 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. 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. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description
