A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the fileNameStr parameter of jQuery-Upload-File v4.0.11 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted file with a Javascript payload in the file name.
Security readout for executives and security teams
This CVE affects jQuery-Upload-File v4.0.11. A maliciously named uploaded file can cause a web page using the plugin to render attacker-controlled script or HTML. The business risk is mainly session theft, phishing, or actions performed in a user’s browser if vulnerable upload views are exposed. Exposure is likely limited to applications that include jQuery-Upload-File v4.0.11 and display uploaded or selected filenames through the vulnerable upload interface. The supplied affected-product metadata is incomplete, so confirm by inspecting application assets and dependency records. Treat as a targeted web application risk. Prioritize internet-facing upload workflows, authenticated portals handling sensitive data, and applications where stolen sessions or deceptive browser content would have business impact. Mitigation focus: Inventory applications for jQuery-Upload-File v4.0.11 usage.; Check the project or vendor guidance for a maintained fixed release.; Replace or remove vulnerable plugin code where feasible..
