Payload: Bypassed sanitization of user uploaded SVGs
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for payload, payload. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.
01 / Meaning

02 / Applicability
The affected context
Affected versions, configuration prerequisites and known exclusions are public. Confirm each one against the deployed service.
payload
source listed< 3.90.0
## Impact A malicious SVG file upload could bypass sanitization, be stored, and execute attacker-controlled JavaScript (XSS) after a user downloads it and opens it. **You are affected if:** - You have a collection configured to upload and allow SVG files which can then be downloaded by users. ## Patches The fix validates SVG content on every upload path and hardens SVG/XML delivery so stored SVGs cannot frame attacker content. Users should upgrade Payload packages to `>= 3.90.0` or `>= 4.0.0-canary.34`. ## Workarounds Disallow SVG uploads, or serve uploaded SVGs as downloads with Content-Disposition: attachment and a strict CSP. These mitigations reduce exposure but do not replace upgrading when the patched release is available.

03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
