Stored script execution via unrestricted SVG upload
Published Jan 19, 2026 · Updated Jan 19, 2026
Stored XSS in SourceCodester eLearning System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute script in a viewer via a crafted SVG lesson file. The lesson upload handler accepts SVG files without content or type validation, stores them, and serves them to a browser through view=viewpdf. Execution requires a victim to open the uploaded lesson in the built-in viewer, where embedded SVG JavaScript runs in that victim's session.
