Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Docmost versions prior to 0.70.0. The root cause is improper validation and handling of MIME types during file uploads, allowing for MIME type spoofing. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can upload a malicious file that, when viewed by another user (such as an administrator), executes arbitrary JavaScript in their browser. This occurs because the application fails to properly neutralize input during web page generation (CWE-79). The vulnerability is fixed in version 0.70.0.
