CVE-2024-13237Network attack vector

Persistent XSS via insufficient file replacement validation

Published Jan 9, 2025 · Updated Jan 9, 2025

Persistent XSS in Drupal File Entity before 7.x-2.38 allows remote authenticated users to inject script through file replacement. The replacement workflow insufficiently validates the replacement file, allowing attacker-controlled content to persist and execute when another user views it. A role with permission to edit files is required, and execution also requires another user to view the stored content.
