Upgrade to January version 0.15.5 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is required as the issue is resolved in the official patch.
Description
January, the media proxy/embed service of stoatchat, before version 0.15.5, improperly resolves SVG <image href> values as local filesystem paths when serving image/svg+xml content. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to probe for local file existence via timing differences and disclose local image files after re-encoding. The vulnerability can also cause unbounded local filesystem I/O and memory pressure, leading to denial of service. The issue is fixed in version 0.15.5.
