What is CVE-2017-11611?

Wolf CMS version 0.8.3.1 is susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks due to inadequate sanitization of filenames during the 'create-file-popup' action and directory names during the 'create-directory-popup' action. This vulnerability can be exploited when using the HTTP POST method to interact with the '/plugin/file_manager/' script, potentially allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into the web application.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
