Browser script execution via unencoded reflected input
Published Apr 27, 2026 · Updated Apr 27, 2026
Reflected XSS in WebFileSys 2.31.1 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in a victim's browser through crafted requests. The login, search, ftpBackup, and error-rendering paths place user-controlled input into HTML or JavaScript contexts without output encoding. Exploitation requires a victim to open or submit a crafted request, enabling actions within that browser session.
