## Technical details

The Document management application in Silverpeas Core 6.4.6 fails to sanitize the X-FULL-PATH header during file upload operations. An authenticated attacker with Manager, Publisher, or Writer role can intercept the upload request and replace this header with a JavaScript payload (e.g., <img src=x onerror=prompt(1);>). The payload is stored server-side and executed in the browser when a user clicks the file preview button. This is a stored XSS vulnerability accessible to authenticated users on the network. The vulnerability was fixed in version 6.4.7.
