R7-2017-06 | CVE-2017-5241: Biscom SFT XSS (FIXED)

Summary The Workspaces component of Biscom Secure File Transfer (SFT) version 5.1.1015 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting in two fields. An attacker would need to have the ability to create a Workspace and entice a victim to visit the malicious page in order to run malicious Javascript in the context of the victim's browser. Since the victim is necessarily authenticated, this can allow the attacker to perform actions on the Biscom Secure File Transfer instance on the victim's behalf.
