Stored XSS via permissive SVG upload validation
Published Feb 20, 2026 · Updated Feb 20, 2026
Stored XSS in GetSimple CMS Community Edition 3.3.22 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript via SVG uploads. The upload handler passes each file to validate_safe_file, whose MIME and extension blacklists omit SVG, then moves the unchanged file into the web-accessible uploads directory. Any authenticated account can store the payload; JavaScript runs in the application origin when another user opens the uploaded SVG, enabling actions in that user's browser session.
