Stored XSS via unencoded uploaded filenames
Published Mar 20, 2026 · Updated Mar 20, 2026
Stored XSS in File Thingie 2.5.7 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in another user's browser via an uploaded filename. The upload path preserves attacker-controlled filename markup, and the file-listing interface renders that stored name without HTML encoding. File-upload access and user interaction are required; viewing the listing triggers the payload in that viewer's session.
