## Summary

Dromara free-fs, versions 2.0.1 through 2.3.1, has a stored cross-site scripting flaw in its file preview endpoint, where a registered user can upload an HTML file that runs script when viewed inline. An attacker who has a low-privilege account can exploit this remotely by getting a victim to open a crafted preview link, then use the injected script to access the victim's files and account.

## Affected

- dromara free-fs: from 2.0.1, through 2.3.1

## Description

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-129163 (Dromara free-fs 2.0.1 through 2.3.1 Stored XSS via File Preview Endpoint), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-129163 (entry last updated 2026-11-13):
Affected:
- dromara free-fs: from 2.0.1, through 2.3.1
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-129163 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-129163 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
