Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

CVE published 26 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Upgrade farisc0de Uploady to version 3.1.2 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since this is a software vulnerability and not a cloud service, patching the affected software version is required.

Description

CVE-2026-33653 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the farisc0de Uploady file uploader script versions prior to 3.1.2. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of filenames during the file upload process, allowing an attacker to upload files with malicious JavaScript code embedded in the filename. This code executes in the browser of any user who views the affected file list or details page. The issue is fixed in version 3.1.2.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of users viewing the file list or details page, potentially leading to information disclosure or manipulation of client-side data. The CVSS score reflects limited confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Summary

The vulnerability in farisc0de Uploady (versions before 3.1.2) is a stored XSS caused by insufficient neutralization of input in filenames during file uploads. Malicious JavaScript embedded in a filename is stored and later rendered without proper escaping, leading to script execution in users' browsers when they view the file list or details. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts as indicated by the CVSS vector. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.6 (medium severity).

Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
