Affected Versions:

Vulnerability Type:
===================
Insecure default configuration
CVE Reference:
==============
CVE-2015-7676
VENDOR Reference:
=================
unknown
Vulnerability Details:
======================
The default configuration allows users to upload HTML files which may contain script code.
If another user accesses this file the server returns the file to the user's browser with:
Content-Disposition: inline;
Content-Type:text/html
This results in rendering the html file in the user's browser.
If the file contains malicious script code, the code will be executed in the application's context.
This may be used to perform XSS or CSRF attacks or steal other sensible user data.
Remark:
There is a configuration option to prevent file view on download. It is off by default.
PoC code(s):
============
Upload an HTML file (e.g. test.html) which contains the following content:
<html>
<body onload="alert('XSS');">
</body>
</html>
