Browser script execution via unsanitized upload path header
Published Sep 8, 2026 · Updated Sep 9, 2026
Stored XSS in Silverpeas Core 6.4.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript through a document upload. The upload handler accepts a URL-encoded script in X-FULL-PATH and later inserts that value into the file preview without neutralization. A Manager, Publisher, or Writer must upload the file, and another workspace user must select its preview before the script runs in that user's browser.
