Trustwave SpiderLabs has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in QuiXplorer, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via multiple parameters to index.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
List of affected parameters:
