Description
CVE-2026-120326 is a vulnerability in Vaadin Flow's DownloadEvent.setFileName(String) method where the file name is written into the Content-Disposition header without proper escaping. This allows an attacker to inject a filename* parameter by including special characters such as double quotes in the file name, causing browsers to save the file under a name and extension chosen by the attacker. This bypasses any file name or extension restrictions enforced by the application. The vulnerability affects Vaadin Flow versions starting from 24.8.0 up to certain fixed versions. Fixed releases are available, and users should upgrade to these versions to mitigate the issue.
