1. Vulnerability Description
SolarWinds Serv-U FTP server through 15.2.1 does not correctly sanitize and
validate the user-supplied directory names, allowing malicious users to create
directories that when clicked on (in the breadcrumb menu) will trigger XSS
payloads.
2. PoC
On a vulnerable Serv-U FTP server installation, create a directory named as
such:
%27%29%3Ba%3Dfunction%28b%29%20%7B%20alert%28%22XSS%22%29%3B%20%7D%3Ba%28%27
The payload contains ');a=function(b) { alert("XSS"); };a('
As soon as a user clicks on the directory name in the breadcrumb menu, it will
trigger the stored XSS.
3. Solution
The vendor provides an updated version (15.2.2) which should be installed
immediately.
