CVE-2026-82868Public exploitNetwork attack vector

JavaScript execution via unsanitized SVG innerHTML

Published Aug 31, 2026 · Updated Aug 31, 2026

Cross-site scripting in pdfme @pdfme/schemas before 5.5.9 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript through its SVG schema plugin. The viewer and read-only form renderer passes user-controlled SVG through structural validation to container.innerHTML without removing scripts, event handlers, or foreignObject content. Execution requires a user to view or fill an attacker-controlled template and runs in the embedding application's browser origin, exposing session data and form input to theft or page modification.
