CVE-2026-41877
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedR-SOFT DMS is vulnerable to Stored XSS in file upload functionality. Authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary HTML and JS into the name of the file being uploaded, which will be executed when visiting file list or upload status by other users. This issue was fixed in version v3.19-2832 and v3.17-2580.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceR-SOFT DMS fails to properly sanitize filenames during the upload process, allowing an authenticated attacker to embed malicious HTML and JavaScript code into the file name. This payload is stored and rendered without output encoding when other users view the file list or upload status, leading to Stored XSS execution in their browser sessions.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify R-SOFT DMS installation and versionLocate the R-SOFT DMS application and check its version information, typically found in the application settings, about page, or version file within the installation directoryAffected if The installed version is older than v3.19-2832 or v3.17-2580, or if version information cannot be determined but the product is R-SOFT DMS
-
Verify file upload functionality is accessibleLog in as an authenticated user and confirm the file upload feature is enabled and accessible in the DMS interfaceAffected if File upload capability is available to authenticated users in the current environment
-
Inspect filename rendering in file list viewUpload a test file with a benign filename containing special characters (e.g., <script>test</script>) and view the file list or upload status page to see if the characters render as plain text or are executed as codeAffected if The filename appears rendered as HTML or JavaScript rather than being displayed as encoded plain text
-
Check for output encoding implementationReview the application code that handles filename display in file list and upload status views to verify if output encoding functions are applied before rendering filenamesAffected if No output encoding (HTML escaping) is applied to filenames before they are rendered in the browser
You are affected if R-SOFT DMS is running and the installed version is before v3.19-2832 or v3.17-2580, AND the file upload feature is accessible to authenticated users, AND filenames are rendered without HTML encoding in the file list or upload status views.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to version v3.19-2832 or v3.17-2580. Until then, implement output encoding on all filename displays and consider restricting file upload permissions to trusted users only.
v3.19-2832 or v3.17-2580 (or later releases)
- 1. Identify the current installed version of R-SOFT DMS by accessing the application admin panel or checking system information
- 2. If running version v3.19-2831 or earlier, plan to upgrade to v3.19-2832 or later
- 3. If running version v3.17-2579 or earlier on the v3.17 branch, upgrade to v3.17-2580 or later
- 4. Before upgrading, backup the current installation and database
- 5. Perform the upgrade following the vendor's standard upgrade procedure
- 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by logging in and confirming the version number
- 7. Test the file upload functionality to confirm the XSS vulnerability is remediated
