AI-suggested
- Upgrade FileRise to version 2.7.1 or later immediately to apply the official patch that fixes the XSS vulnerability.
- Implement strict file upload controls to restrict allowed file types, especially blocking SVG and HTML files unless absolutely necessary.
- Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of inline scripts and reduce the impact of potential XSS attacks.
- Monitor and audit file uploads and share link usage to detect suspicious activity or uploads of potentially malicious files.
- Educate users about the risks of opening untrusted shared links or files, emphasizing caution with files received from unknown or untrusted sources.
- If upgrading is not immediately possible, consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable share and download endpoints to limit exposure.
- Use web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block XSS payloads targeting these endpoints.
- Regularly review and update security policies around file sharing and user privileges to minimize the risk of malicious uploads.
Description
FileRise is a self-hosted web file manager / WebDAV server. Versions prior to 2.7.1 are vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to unsafe handling of browser-renderable user uploads when served through the sharing and download endpoints. An attacker who can get a crafted SVG (primary) or HTML (secondary) file stored in a FileRise instance can cause JavaScript execution when a victim opens a generated share link (and in some cases via the direct download endpoint). This impacts share links (`/api/file/share.php`) and direct file access / download path (`/api/file/download.php`), depending on browser/content-type behavior. Version 2.7.1 fixes the issue.
