Description
GFI Archiver before 15.13 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Classification Rules configuration that allows authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the rule name and email criteria parameters to /Archiver/CategorizationPolicyWizard.aspx. The injected payload is stored by CategorizationPolicyWizard.SaveAllConfigSettings() without output encoding and is executed in the browsers of users who subsequently view the Classification Rules page.

AI Analysis

Impact

A stored cross‑site scripting flaw resides in GFI Archiver’s Classification Rules configuration. Authenticated users can enter arbitrary script or HTML into the rule name and email criteria fields, and the application stores the payload without encoding it. Subsequent users who view the Classification Rules page are forced to execute the injected code in their browsers, enabling session hijacking, phishing, or defacement attacks.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability is limited to GFI Archiver versions earlier than 15.13. The affected component is the CategorizationPolicyWizard.aspx page that handles rule editing. Only users with permission to configure classification rules can exploit the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation. The flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, so no widespread attacks are documented. Exploitation requires an attacker to first authenticate to the Archiver system and then create a rule containing malicious script; the injected code will execute whenever another authorized user opens the rule configuration view.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to GFI Archiver version 15.13 or later to eliminate the stored XSS flaw.

  • Maintain an audit trail of rule changes and employ a review process to detect and rollback suspicious rule entries.
