Unauthenticated RCE via pipe-prefixed SVG reference
Published Mar 19, 2026 · Updated Mar 19, 2026
OS command injection in Microsoft Bing Images allows remote attackers to execute commands through a crawler-fetched SVG image. The server-side ingestion path passes the SVG's pipe-prefixed image reference to a delegate-backed conversion pipeline that invokes a shell. No authentication, cookies, or user interaction are required; successful requests run commands as root or SYSTEM on Microsoft-managed workers.
