DNN File Browser JavaScript Injection Vulnerability Allowing Reflected Cross-Site Scripting

Vulnerability

A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) versions prior to 10.1.0. This issue arises from the FileBrowser's handling of specially crafted URLs, which can inject JavaScript that executes when an unsuspecting user clicks the link. The injected script could be used for social engineering or more harmful actions, especially if the user has elevated permissions.

Impact
