Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Projectsend version r1295. This issue allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts by manipulating the 'name' parameter in the 'files-edit.php' page. The injected JavaScript executes in the browser of users who view the file, with a particular impact on System Administrators accessing the Dashboard.
