AI-suggested

Upgrade TypiCMS Core to version 16.1.7 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. The fix involves proper sanitization of SVG file contents to prevent embedded malicious scripts from executing. No other mitigations are indicated or substitute for applying the official patch.

Description

TypiCMS Core versions prior to 16.1.7 contain a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the file upload module. This flaw allows users with file upload permissions to upload SVG files containing malicious JavaScript, which executes when viewed by other users. The vulnerability arises because the SVG content is not sanitized despite MIME type validation. A bug in SVG parsing can cause errors but does not prevent exploitation. Version 16.1.7 addresses this issue.
