No CSRF token exists when making some POST requests, allowing arbitrary deletion of files on the monstaftp server dirs. Monstaftp sanitizes most $_GET requests with call to sanitizeStr() e.g --> echo sanitizeStr($ftp_host), However we find vulnerable code that is not santized on line 494 of index.php ---> echo $_GET["openFolder"]; creating an XSS entry point and will execute when victim accesses the Monstaftp login page before logging in.

Mitigation:

Ensure that all POST requests are protected with CSRF tokens and that all user input is properly sanitized.
