Cross-site scripting via unencoded file-manager output

Published Jan 5, 2023 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

Cross-site scripting in eXtplorer 2.1.12 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute script via file-manager input. The fix adds HTML entity encoding to filenames, paths, status messages, archive names, and permission-dialog values before browser rendering. Exploitation requires crafted content to reach an affected view and user interaction to render it; the published impact is limited to browser-side data modification.
