CVE-2026-121446 Details
Description
svg-sanitizer from 0.5.0 before 1.1.0 contains an incomplete filtering vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass remote URL removal by using CSS escape sequences inside url() in SVG presentation attributes. Attackers can supply SVG files with attributes like fill containing escaped slashes that browsers resolve to remote URLs, triggering external requests and enabling data exfiltration.
A vulnerability exists in svg-sanitizer versions 0.5.0 prior to 1.1.0, allowing attackers to bypass remote URL removal in SVG files. This is achieved by using CSS escape sequences within the url() function in SVG presentation attributes, such as 'fill'. The vulnerability enables the inclusion of escaped slashes that browsers interpret as remote URLs, potentially leading to unauthorized external requests and data exfiltration.
Users can upgrade to svg-sanitizer version 1.1.0 or later to address this vulnerability.
