Victim-context script execution via unescaped file parameter
Published Apr 29, 2025 · Updated Apr 29, 2025
Reflected XSS in YesWiki before 4.5.4 allows remote attackers to execute script in a victim's browser through the file upload form. The showUploadForm method inserts the GET file parameter into a heading and hidden input without HTML encoding. Exploitation requires no authentication but requires a victim to open a crafted link, enabling actions in that victim's YesWiki context.
