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 · unedited
Rejetto HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 does not escape file names in its fallback "basic" web listing, and this listing can be forced by any browser via the ?get=basic parameter. A user with upload permission - or an anonymous user on servers with an open upload folder - can store a file whose name contains script that executes in the browser of anyone viewing the listing.

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 · moderate confidence

Rejetto HFS 3.0.0-3.2.0 contains a stored XSS vulnerability in its 'basic' web listing (accessible via ?get=basic parameter). File names are not escaped, allowing attackers with upload permissions to embed malicious JavaScript in filenames that executes in victims' browsers when viewing the directory listing.

MitigationSanitize/escape HTML entities in filenames when rendering the basic listing template, or implement filename validation on upload to reject names containing scriptable characters/tags.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check HFS version
    Look in the application's main window, About section, or check the executable file properties to identify the installed version of Rejetto HFS.
    Affected if The installed version is 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 inclusive.
  2. Verify basic listing is accessible
    Attempt to access the web interface with the ?get=basic parameter appended to the server URL (e.g., http://yourserver:port/?get=basic) to confirm the basic listing template is available.
    Affected if The basic listing page loads without being disabled or returning an error.
  3. Check for upload permissions
    Review user accounts and their permission settings in the HFS administration panel to identify which users or groups have upload capabilities.
    Affected if Any user account has upload permissions enabled, allowing that user to place malicious filenames on the server.
  4. Inspect basic template for escaping
    Access the template configuration file for the basic listing (typically found in the templates or config section of the HFS web interface) and search for the code that renders filenames.
    Affected if The template directly outputs filename variables without HTML entity encoding or escaping functions applied.

You are affected if your HFS version is between 3.0.0 and 3.2.0, the basic listing is accessible, and any user has upload permissions while the template lacks filename escaping.

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.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Sanitize/escape HTML entities in filenames when rendering the basic listing template, or implement filename validation on upload to reject names containing scriptable characters/tags.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

HFS version > 3.2.0 (check GitHub releases for the latest stable version)

  1. Identify the currently installed HFS version by checking the application or its web interface
  2. Navigate to the official Rejetto HFS GitHub repository releases page
  3. Locate and download the latest stable release (version higher than 3.2.0)
  4. Before upgrading, backup your current HFS configuration and any custom settings
  5. Stop the HFS service
  6. Install the new version following the standard upgrade procedure
  7. Restart the HFS service
  8. Verify the installation by accessing the web interface
