XSS when upload pdf file

As mentioned in case TS015573818, I want to handle xss errors when uploading files from BAW to ECM via CMIS.


--Updated Jun-13-2024--

Besides XSS errors, we also encountered similar errors when exploiting via request payload.

I describe this prolem again, the details are described in detail in case TS01557381:

We are experiencing security vulnerabilities related to file uploads.

The model we use is: BAW -> CMIS -> ECM.

When users upload files from the web client, the request payload vulnerability is exploited. User can edit the information:

- Change filename, file type, properties information

- Change file content, transmit xss scripts

Blocking at the client level does not solve this problem, so we think the solution needs to be on the server side.

This is an issue that is rated at a high level, thanks to IBM's support in handling it
