Stored script execution via unsanitized SVG uploads
Published Aug 9, 2025 · Updated Aug 11, 2025
Stored cross-site scripting in Frappe Learning 2.33.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through SVG uploads. The image upload handler stores SVG files without adequately sanitizing embedded JavaScript before serving them to other users. A highly privileged account must upload the file and another user must view it; the script then runs in that user's application context.
