# Esri ArcGIS Server: stored XSS lets unauthenticated attackers plant browser-executed script

Esri ArcGIS Server 11.1 and earlier on Windows and Linux has a stored cross-site scripting flaw in some configurations. A remote unauthenticated attacker can store files containing malicious code that runs in a victim's browser.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed ArcGIS Server version against the patched list in the advisory (unknown exact build numbers in sources)
- Confirm the host runs ArcGIS Server on Windows or Linux with the affected configuration (unknown which configuration the sources mean)

## Fix

- Apply the Esri ArcGIS Server patch for supported releases 12.1, 12.0, 11.5, 11.3 or 11.1 (exact patch identifiers unknown)
- Upgrade versions outside those lines to a supported release, then apply the patch
