Stored XSS via unsanitized SVG branding upload
Published Mar 18, 2026 · Updated Mar 18, 2026
Stored XSS in aaPanel 7.57.0 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript via a crafted SVG logo or favicon upload. The branding upload path stores SVG images without sanitizing embedded script and serves them from static temporary asset URLs, causing browsers to run the payload when rendered. The published demonstration uses a generated temporary-login token; the demonstrated consequence is script execution in a viewer's browser, not server-side code execution.
