### Summary The mediapool sync page (`sync.php`) renders filenames from the `/media` filesystem directory directly into HTML without applying `rex_escape()` (i.e., `htmlspecialchars`). Any file placed in the media directory whose filename contains HTML metacharacters will execute JavaScript in the browser of any backend user who views the sync page.

### Details In `redaxo/src/addons/mediapool/pages/sync.php`, the variable `$diffFiles` is populated from actual filesystem filenames (files in `/media/` not yet registered in the database). These filenames are then rendered without escaping:

**File:** `redaxo/src/addons/mediapool/pages/sync.php:119-120` ```php foreach ($diffFiles as $file) { if (is_writable(rex_path::media($file))) { $e = []; $e['label'] = '<label>' . $file . '</label>'; // NO rex_escape! $e['field'] = '<input type="checkbox" name="sync_files[]" value="' . $file . '" />'; // NO rex_escape! $writable[] = $e; } else { $notWritable[] = $file; } } ```

**File:** `redaxo/src/addons/mediapool/pages/sync.php:170` ```php $fragment->setVar('body', '<ul><li>' . implode('</li><li>', $notWritable) . '</li></ul>', false); // $notWritable contains unescaped filenames ```

By contrast, all other filename displays in the codebase use `rex_escape($fname)` (e.g., `media.detail.php:236`, `media.list.php`). The sync page is accessible to any backend user with the `media[sync]` permission (not exclusively admins).

### PoC 1. Place a file named `<img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)>.txt` into the REDAXO `/media/` directory (via backup restore or server access) without adding it to the media database. 2. Log in as any backend user with `media[sync]` permission. 3. Navigate to **Mediapool → Sync**. 4. The XSS payload executes immediately, stealing the admin session cookie.

### Impact Stored XSS in the admin panel. An attacker who can place files in the media directory (via admin-level backup restore or server access) can achieve persistent XSS against all users who visit the sync page, including higher-privileged admins. This enables session hijacking, credential theft, and full CMS takeover.

### Fix Apply `rex_escape()` to all filename variables before inserting into HTML: ```php $e['label'] = '<label>' . rex_escape($file) . '</label>'; $e['field'] = '<input type="checkbox" name="sync_files[]" value="' . rex_escape($file) . '" />'; // ... $fragment->setVar('body', '<ul><li>' . implode('</li><li>', array_map('rex_escape', $notWritable)) . '</li></ul>', false); ```
