WinterCMS < 1.2.3 - Persistent Cross-Site Scripting
WinterCMS < 1.2.3 lacks restrictions on uploading SVG files as website logos, making it vulnerable to a Persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This vulnerability arises from the ability of an attacker to embed malicious JavaScript content within an SVG file, which remains visible to all users, including anonymous visitors. Consequently, any user interaction with the affected page can inadvertently trigger the execution of the malicious script
Mitigation:
Apply a patch or upgrade to WinterCMS version 1.2.3 or later. Avoid uploading SVG files as website logos or implement proper validation and sanitization of user-uploaded files.
