Session compromise via unsanitized uploaded filenames
Published Feb 18, 2025 · Updated Feb 18, 2025
Stored XSS in Cordaware bestinformed Web Interface before 6.2.2.5 allows remote authenticated users to compromise other users' sessions. The file-upload handler stores attacker-controlled HTML in filenames and later renders those names without output encoding when another user views the file. A valid account and a subsequent file view are required; script execution in a higher-privileged user's browser enables session compromise.
