Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in GFI Archiver versions prior to 15.13. The flaw is located in the File Archive Assistant configuration wizard (/Archiver/FileArchiveAssistantWizard.aspx) within the 'excluded extensions' parameter. The application's btnSave_Click() function fails to perform adequate output encoding before storing the input. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by submitting a malicious payload that executes in the context of any user who subsequently visits the File Archive Assistant settings page. This can lead to session hijacking or unauthorized administrative actions. The issue is resolved in version 15.13.
