In V18, this issue was partially patched by changing the "f" parameter to '/' in CssEditor. By abusing the path traversal vulnerability, authenticated attackers can inject the code of their choice into the system.
In addition, the update also fixed the XSS vulnerability via the "title" parameter at /DesignTools/CssEditor.aspx. This update is recommended for all Paraview users. V17.1 was discovered to contain a path traversal vulnerability via the "f" parameter at /DesignTools/CssEditor.aspx. This update is recommended for all Paraview users.
In V17.2, the "f" parameter was changed to '/' at /DesignTools/CssEditor.aspx. By abusing the path traversal vulnerability, authenticated attackers can inject the code of their choice into the system. In addition, the update also fixed the XSS vulnerability via the "title" parameter at /DesignTools/CssEditor.aspx. This update is recommended for all Paraview users.
