-- Description --
The stored XSS vulnerability allows any authenticated user to inject malicious code via the name of the uploaded file:
Example: <svg onload=alert(0)>.jpg
The vulnerability exists because the file name is not properly sanitized
and this can lead to malicious code injection that will be executed on the
target’s browser.
-- Proof of Concept --
1. The attacker creates a new download package via the plugin's menu
and uploads a file with the name: <svg onload=alert(0)>.jpg
2. The stored XSS can be triggered when an authenticated user (e.g. admin)
attempts to edit this download package
