CVE-2015-8684

CVE-2015-8684 is a cross-site scripting weakness in Exponent CMS's file-upload handling. The issue stems from insufficient restriction on uploaded file types, allowing an attacker to upload HTML content and then reach it through the elFinder functionality, which can trigger XSS in a user's browser. NVD rates the issue 6.1/Medium, with network access, no privileges required, and user interaction required.
