CVE-2026-97359: Rejetto HTTP File Server 2.4.x - Template Injection

id: CVE-2026-97359

info:
  name: Rejetto HTTP File Server 2.4.x - Template Injection
  author: kosoyyagent
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Rejetto HTTP File Server (HFS) 2.4.x inserts the multipart upload filename into the server-side template symbol map as %item-resource% without escaping. A filename containing the literal %item-resource% is substituted a second time by the sequential global replacement in xtpl(), allowing a :} sequence to terminate the quoting region so a following {.exec|...} macro is executed as an operating-system command. An unauthenticated attacker achieves remote code execution with a single request.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary commands remotely, potentially leading to full system compromise.
  remediation: |
    Update to a version later than 2.4.0 or the latest available version.
