JavaScript execution via unescaped drag-drop filenames
Published Feb 25, 2025 · Updated Feb 25, 2025
DOM-based XSS in the copyparty Web UI before 1.16.15 allows attackers to execute JavaScript through a crafted empty filename. The up2k_init function in copyparty/web/up2k.js concatenates an empty file's name into a modal message without calling esc(), so the modal parses embedded markup. A user must receive a zero-byte file and drag it into an authenticated Web UI session; script code then runs with that user's file-access privileges.
