CVE-2024-50807
CVE-2024-50807 is a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in Trippo Responsive Filemanager 9.14.0. This flaw allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the web application by uploading specially crafted SVG and PDF files. While the CVSS score is 6.1, indicating a medium severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 38, suggesting a lower immediate risk compared to critical vulnerabilities. However, the presence of the "In The Wild" tag indicates that this vulnerability is actively being exploited. Successful exploitation could lead to session hijacking, defacement of websites, or the redirection of users to malicious sites, posing a significant security risk. Immediate patching or mitigation steps are recommended to prevent potential attacks despite the relatively low SVRS. This vulnerability highlights the importance of proper file upload validation and sanitization techniques. The potential for XSS makes this a concerning flaw in web applications using Trippo Responsive Filemanager.
