DescriptionGitHub Advisory

FileBrowser Quantum is a free, self-hosted, web-based file manager. Prior to 1.3.1-beta and 1.2.2-stable, Stored XSS is possible via share metadata fields (e.g., title, description) that are rendered into HTML for /public/share/<hash> without context-aware escaping. The server uses text/template instead of html/template, allowing injected scripts to execute when victims visit the share URL. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.1-beta and 1.2.2-stable.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in FileBrowser versions prior to 1.3.1-beta and 1.2.2-stable allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts through share metadata fields that are improperly rendered without HTML escaping. When victims visit affected share URLs, the injected scripts execute in their browsers with full privileges, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or further compromise. …
