CVE-2022-41704Network attack vector

Code execution via unrestricted Java SVG scripts

Published Oct 25, 2022 · Updated Feb 25, 2026

Code execution in Apache Batik 1.0 through 1.15 allows remote attackers to run untrusted Java code through a crafted SVG. DefaultScriptSecurity permits SVG_SCRIPT_TYPE_JAVA content to load an attacker-supplied JAR instead of rejecting Java scripts by default. Exploitation requires a Batik-consuming application to process attacker-controlled SVG content; the code runs within the application's existing JVM context.
