CVE-2026-61501: Rejetto HFS admin log viewer can run malicious code
CVE-2026-61501 · published 3 months ago
Summary
Rejetto HFS versions 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 display log entries without cleaning them. An attacker can place specially crafted text in a failed login attempt, which then runs JavaScript in an administrator's browser when the logs are opened, potentially letting the attacker create accounts or run commands with admin rights. Update to a newer version or restrict access to the admin panel until the fix is applied.
What to do
- Update rejetto hfs to version 3.2.1 or later.

Original advisory text
Rejetto HFS < 3.2.1 Stored XSS in Admin Log Viewer
Rejetto HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 renders log entries in the administration panel as HTML without sanitization. A remote unauthenticated attacker can submit a failed login with a crafted username that is written to the error log and executes JavaScript in an administrator's browser when the logs are viewed, allowing the attacker to create accounts or execute code on the server with the administrator's privileges.
