Account hijacking via pasted SVG script execution
Published Jul 22, 2025 · Updated Jul 22, 2025
Self-XSS in ChatPlayground.ai through 2025-05-24 allows remote attackers to steal JWTs via crafted SVG content in chat. The chat renderer executes JavaScript embedded in pasted SVG markup instead of neutralizing it, exposing the victim's JWT to the payload. A victim must copy and paste the attacker's content; the stolen token enables account hijacking, and its username remains usable to retrieve private chat history.
