Stored XSS via unsanitized SVG uploads
Published Jun 14, 2024 · Updated Mar 24, 2025
Stored XSS in Andibauer SVGMagic 1.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject JavaScript through an SVG upload. The plugin accepts SVG file contents without sanitizing embedded script and stores the uploaded file so the script executes when the file is accessed directly. Author-level access is required to upload the SVG, and a victim must open the stored file; the script then runs in the victim's browser context.
