Payload: Bypassed sanitization of user uploaded SVGs
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## 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.
