The PEM is vulnerable to an unrestricted file upload on the path /dsv/partner/module/fileManagement/ and /dsv/sponsor/module/fileManagement in the parameter file. Through this vulnerability it is possible to upload a windows executable file that t...

Looping Functionality for Dialogs (UI, API, XSLT)

Many times it is not possible to know the number of times that you need an API to execute. Looping would allow the execution of an API or UI dialog to be dynamic. This could be utilized in a great number of use cases, one of which I outlined below.
