When this filename is transmitted to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-46191-unauthenticated-arbitrary-file-upload-vulnerability-in-sourcecodester-client-database-management-system\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"45278\">client for displaying a list of configuration files<\/a>, it is not properly sanitized or escaped. As a result, the attacker can inject HTML script tags in the filename, which can then be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-46193-remote-code-execution-vulnerability-in-sourcecodester-client-database-management-system-1-0\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"45321\">executed when the filename is rendered on the client<\/a> side. This leads to a classic cross-site-scripting attack, potentially compromising the victim&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-24351-remote-logging-vulnerability-in-ctrlx-os-can-lead-to-root-level-system-compromise\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"42198\">system or leading<\/a> to data leakage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-3126263613\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This example assumes that the malicious user is authenticated and has the ability to create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-3404-wordpress-download-manager-arbitrary-file-deletion-vulnerability\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"41703\">files with arbitrary<\/a> names.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">POST \/api\/files HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\nAuthorization: Bearer &lt;auth_token&gt;\n{ &quot;filename&quot;: &quot;&lt;script&gt;malicious_code_here&lt;\/script&gt;.cfg&quot; }<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the filename contains a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-50754-stored-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability-leading-to-remote-code-execution-in-unisite-cms-5-0\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"74647\">script tag with malicious code<\/a>.

In the meantime, they can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as temporary mitigation. It&#8217;s also recommended to review and sanitize all filenames before rendering them on the client side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, a new vulnerability has been reported in KUNBUS PiCtory version 2.11.1 and earlier.
