AI Analysis

Impact

An authenticated stored cross‑site scripting flaw exists in the Upload File Shares API of LiquidFiles v4.2.7. By submitting a malicious payload in the Name field, an attacker who holds valid credentials can store executable JavaScript or HTML. When other users retrieve or view that file share, the injected code runs in their browsers, enabling session theft, defacement, or further social‑engineering attacks. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

LiquidFiles v4.2.7. No other versions or products were explicitly listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw requires authentication and the ability to invoke the Upload File Shares API, so the threat is limited to users with legitimate access or compromised accounts. No EPSS data or KEV listing is available, indicating no publicly known exploitation at the time of analysis. Nevertheless, the ability to execute arbitrary script in a shared environment represents a high‑impact security risk once an attacker gains the necessary access.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest LiquidFiles release that contains the patch for the upload file shares API.
  • Restrict use of the Upload File Shares API to only the minimum number of privileged users needed.
  • Implement server‑side validation or output encoding for the Name parameter to prevent stored script injection.
  • Enforce a strict Content Security Policy that disallows inline scripts, reducing the impact if the vulnerability remains.
