CVE-2026-85081Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Administrator-session script execution via origin prefix check

Published Sep 26, 2026 · Updated Sep 26, 2026

DOM-based XSS in File Manager, FileOrganizer, and Filester allows remote attackers to run JavaScript in an administrator session. The bundled elFinder browser accepts a message origin when it is merely a leading prefix of the site address instead of requiring an exact match. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to visit an attacker-controlled page, after which forged messages execute script with that administrator's site privileges.
