ISSUES

 

CVE-2018-18370
Severity / CVSSv3 Medium / 6.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)
References SecurityFocus: BID 109823 / NVD: CVE-2018-18370
Impact Cross-site scripting (XSS)
Description The ASG/ProxySG FTP proxy WebFTP mode allows intercepting FTP connections where a user accesses an FTP server via a ftp:// URL in a web browser. A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the WebFTP mode allows a remote attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code in ASG/ProxySG's web listing of a remote FTP server. Exploiting the vulnerability requires the attacker to be able to upload crafted files to the remote FTP server.
