DescriptionGitHub Advisory

LocalSend is a free, open-source app that allows users to share files and messages with nearby devices over their local network without needing an internet connection. In versions up to and including 1.17.0, when a user initiates a "Share via Link" session, the LocalSend application starts a local HTTP server to host the selected files. The client-side logic for this web interface is contained in app/assets/web/main.js. Note that at [0], the handleFilesDisplay function constructs the HTML for the file list by iterating over the files received from the server. Commit 8f3cec85aa29b2b13fed9b2f8e499e1ac9b0504c contains a patch.

AnalysisAI

Cross-site scripting (XSS) in LocalSend up to version 1.17.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts through the "Share via Link" web interface, which fails to properly sanitize file names in the file list display. An attacker can craft a malicious file name that executes arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a victim's browser when they access the shared link, potentially leading to session hijacking or credential theft. …
