CVE-2026-33436
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Stirling-PDF is a locally hosted web application that facilitates various operations on PDF files. In versions prior to 2.0.0, file upload endpoints render user-supplied filenames directly into HTML using unsafe methods like innerHTML without sanitization. An attacker can craft a file with a malicious filename containing JavaScript that executes in the uploading user's browser context, resulting in reflected XSS. The issue affects numerous upload endpoints across the application. The issue has been fixed in version 2.0.0.

En versiones anteriores a la 2.0.0, los puntos finales de carga de archivos renderizan los nombres de archivo proporcionados por el usuario directamente en HTML utilizando métodos inseguros como innerHTML sin sanitización. Un atacante puede crear un archivo con un nombre de archivo malicioso que contiene JavaScript que se ejecuta en el contexto del navegador del usuario que realiza la carga, lo que resulta en XSS reflejado. El problema afecta a numerosos puntos finales de carga en toda la aplicación. El problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 2.0.0."
