8.3 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
CWE
  • CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Summary
In WS_FTP Server version prior to 8.8.2, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in WS_FTP Server's Management module. An attacker with administrative privileges could import a SSL certificate with malicious attributes containing cross-site scripting payloads.  Once the cross-site scripting payload is successfully stored,  an attacker could leverage this vulnerability to target WS_FTP Server admins with a specialized payload which results in the execution of malicious JavaScript within the context of the victims browser.
