CVE-2025-12544

MediumCVSS 4.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Publisher portal fails to enforce proper validation on uploaded SVG files, allowing users with the Publisher role to inject malicious scripts. This can be exploited by uploading a crafted SVG file that is stored and rendered by the application. Consequences include redirecting the victim's browser to an arbitrary website, modifying the page UI, or retrieving browser information, though impact is mitigated as sensitive session cookies are protected with the httpOnly flag.

Risk Assessment

A malicious Publisher-role user can perform stored XSS affecting other portal users, potentially stealing data or acting on their behalf. httpOnly session cookie protection limits session hijacking, but other effects remain possible.

Recommendation

Apply the vendor fix ensuring proper validation and sanitization of uploaded SVG files. Consider restricting SVG uploads or serving them with safe headers.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Publisher portal fails to enforce proper validation on uploaded SVG files, allowing users with the Publisher role to inject malicious scripts. This weakness can be exploited by uploading a crafted SVG file, which is then stored and rendered by the application. The security consequences include the ability for a malicious actor to redirect the victim's browser to an arbitrary website, modify the web page's UI, or retrieve information from the browser. However, the impact is mitigated as session-related sensitive cookies are protected with the httpOnly flag, preventing session hijacking.
