EasyAdmin: Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via uploaded files served inline in FileField and ImageField
EasyAdmin's `FileField` and `ImageField` accept browser-executable file types by default (`FileField` applies no MIME/extension restrictions; `ImageField`'s default `Image` constraint accepts SVG). When the upload directory is configured inside the public web root — as shown in the documentation — EasyAdmin links to the stored file inline (no downl...

Requires basic user-level privileges. |
| User Interaction | Required UI:R |
A user must click, open, or visit something — social engineering component. |
| Scope | Changed S:C |
Impact extends beyond the vulnerable component — can affect other systems/security domains. |
| Confidentiality Impact | High C:H |
Total loss of confidentiality — full data disclosure possible. |
| Integrity Impact | Low I:L |

No availability impact. |
🧬 Weakness Anatomy — CWE-79, the underlying flaw class
This vulnerability is classified as CWE-79: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the primary record. The mechanics below are characteristic of this weakness class (per the MITRE CWE corpus), not a claim about a specific exploit observed against your environment.
| How it's exploited | Attacker injects script into pages rendered to other users, running in their browser session to steal cookies/tokens or perform actions as the victim. |
| Detect & prevent | Context-aware output encoding; Content-Security-Policy; sanitize rich input. Detect via WAF signatures for script payloads and anomalous parameter content. |
⚠️ Business Impact Analysis
- ⚠️ Privilege escalation — local attacker can become SYSTEM/root
🔗 Representative Attack Path
A typical attack path for this vulnerability class, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. This is a representative model to guide detection and defense — not a claim of observed activity against a specific target. Confirm specifics against the primary sources below.

2 |
Initial Access | Spear-phishing with malicious attachment or link targeting composer users | T1566 |
3 |
Privilege Escalation | Local privilege escalation to SYSTEM/root for full control | T1068 |
4 |
Persistence | Backdoor, scheduled task, or new admin account created for persistent access | T1053 |
5 |
Command & Control | Attacker establishes persistent C2 channel using HTTPS or DNS tunneling | T1071 |
6 |
Impact / Objectives | Intellectual property theft, espionage, cryptomining, or preparation for future attack stage | T1657 |
