Official description

FileBrowser Quantum is a free, self-hosted, web-based file manager. Prior to 1.3.1-beta and 1.2.2-stable, Stored XSS is possible via share metadata fields (e.g., title, description) that are rendered into HTML for /public/share/<hash> without context-aware escaping. The server uses text/template instead of html/template, allowing injected scripts to execute when victims visit the share URL. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.1-beta and 1.2.2-stable.
