Stored XSS via unsanitized SVG uploads
Published May 25, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in Design Extreme Reviews and Rating – Google Reviews 5.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts via SVG uploads. The file-upload handler accepts SVG avatar files and stores their markup without neutralizing script-capable elements before the uploaded image is rendered. Author-level access is required; viewing a page containing the uploaded asset executes the stored script in the visitor's browser, enabling data reads or page changes within that origin.
