Summary
SunEditor before 3.4.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the FileUpload plugin create() method that assigns server-returned file names to innerHTML without escaping.

Inferred packages
No advisory lists a package for this vulnerability yet. The CVE names these as products and links their GitHub repository, and the package registry names the same repository, so they are probably the affected packages. Low confidence: the versions are the CVE’s own for the product, and a stack check reports the package as unchecked when there are none.
