Stored XSS via unsanitized PDF preview
Published Jul 20, 2025 · Updated Jul 21, 2025
Stored cross-site scripting in ThinkGem JeeSite 5.0 through 5.12.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript via a crafted PDF upload. FileUploadController passes the PDF to the upload service without sanitizing active content, while UserfilesController serves it inline when source=preview. File-upload permission and a victim opening the preview are required; the script runs in the victim browser and can steal credentials or act in that session.
