AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, users should avoid processing untrusted SVG files with vulnerable versions of svg-sanitizer or implement additional filtering to block CSS escape sequences in url() functions.

Description

svg-sanitizer versions from 0.5.0 up to but not including 1.1.0 have a vulnerability where attackers can bypass remote URL removal by using CSS escape sequences inside url() in SVG presentation attributes. This allows crafted SVG files with attributes like fill containing escaped slashes to cause browsers to resolve remote URLs, triggering external requests and potentially enabling data exfiltration.
