Description

An issue was discovered in Open-Xchange OX App Suite before 7.8.2-rev8. Setting the user&#39;s name to JS code makes that code execute when selecting that user&#39;s "Templates" folder from OX Documents settings. This requires the folder to be shared to the victim. Malicious script code can be executed within a user&#39;s context. This can lead to session hijacking or triggering unwanted actions via the web interface (sending mail, deleting data etc.).
