GHSA-5MP5-7F8H-R69Q
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-14 15:32 – Updated: 2026-09-14 15:32Affected versions of MISP serve uploaded SVG images inline without a restrictive browser sandbox.
The commit explains that SVG files are XML documents rather than passive bitmap images. While scripts inside SVG do not execute when the SVG is rendered through a normal , they can execute when the SVG is navigated to directly or embedded as a document. In that case, malicious elements, event handlers, or javascript: URLs execute on the MISP origin with the viewer’s session.
The affected use cases include:
- organisation SVG logos; - event-report SVG pictures.
Importantly, the vulnerable behavior is on the serve path, not merely the upload path: the patch notes that a malicious SVG uploaded while SVG support was enabled could remain dangerous even after uploads were later disabled.
Version affected: ≤2.5.45
