DescriptionFiles is a module for managing files inside spaces and user profiles. In versions 0.16.9 and below, the File Move functionality does not contain logic that prevents injection of arbitrary JavaScript, which can lead to Browser JS code execution in the context of the user’s session. This is fixed in version 0.16.10.
