CVE-2025-31136Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Account takeover via same-origin SVG favicon scripts

Published Jun 4, 2025 · Updated Jun 4, 2025

Stored XSS in FreshRSS before 1.26.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript through an attacker-controlled feed. The f.php favicon endpoint serves unsanitized scripted SVG content without CSP, allowing a sandboxed same-origin iframe to run it on the feeds page. Exploitation requires an attacker account and control of a subscribed feed; execution can take over the victim account and, for an administrator, reach user deletion or server code execution.
