Technical details
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in ProjectSend r1295 within the 'files-edit.php' component. The root cause is improper neutralization of user-provided input in the 'name' parameter (file title field). An authenticated attacker with any role can upload a file and then modify its name to include a JavaScript payload. This payload is stored in the database and subsequently executed when a victim, such as a System Administrator, views the Dashboard or file management pages. While the vendor has released newer versions (e.g., r2029), users on r1295 should upgrade to mitigate this risk.
