axeloz filesharing before 2.14.3 Stored XSS via Bundle Description Markdown Links

Published Nov 14, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.1 Medium EPSS n/a KEV · Not listed
Description
Axeloz Filesharing before 2.14.3 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject script by storing raw HTML or javascript: Markdown links in bundle descriptions. Recipients viewing the public bundle preview page execute the script via Alpine x-html, letting attackers steal the owner_token from localStorage and issue owner-scoped requests against victim bundles.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The vulnerability is a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that permits authenticated users to embed malicious raw HTML or javascript: Markdown links in bundle descriptions. When a recipient views the public bundle preview page, the injected script is executed via Alpine's x-html attribute, allowing the attacker to read the victim's owner_token from localStorage and then perform owner‑scoped requests against the victim's bundles.

Affected Systems

Axeloz Filesharing installations running any version prior to 2.14.3 are affected. The flaw resides in the server‑side rendering of bundle descriptions and exists across all operating systems where the web application runs.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5.1, indicating moderate impact. EPSS data is not available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploit requires the attacker to be an authenticated user who can edit a bundle description, and a separate victim must later view the public preview page for the injected script to run. While the flaw allows theft of an owner_token and impersonation of the owner in the victim's browser, it does not provide direct server‑side code execution or compromise of the host machine. The attack surface is limited to users who can modify bundle descriptions and view previews, making the risk moderate but still significant for environments that grant many accounts such permissions.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Axeloz Filesharing to version 2.14.3 or later, which removes the vulnerability.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict editing privileges for bundle descriptions to users with administrative role only.
  • Implement client‑side sanitization of the description field to escape raw HTML or javascript: links before rendering, or enforce Markdown rendering that strips dangerous content.
  • Introduce a strict Content‑Security‑Policy header that blocks inline scripts to reduce the impact of any remaining XSS payloads.
