2 birds media are experts in photo research, video and audio research and we handle art buying too. We soar at copyright clearance which includes a multitude of things like text permissions and audio and video licensing. Our photo editing skills come into play when there is a need for something more specific, through either assignment photography or the production of images in our in-house studio. This allows you to take advantage of our knowledge and experience in art directing, casting as well as photo styling, which is great because luckily we’re quite good at those. Project and data management are a given when you’re handling as much as we do. Oh, and reports are no problem, no problem at all.

Description

ThingsBoard in versions prior to v4.2.1 allows an authenticated user to upload malicious SVG images via the "Image Gallery", leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The exploit can be triggered when any user accesses the public API endpoint of the malicious SVG images, or if the malicious images are embedded in an `iframe` element, during a widget creation, deployed to any page of the platform (e.g., dashboards), and accessed during normal operations. The vulnerability resides in the `ImageController`, which fails to restrict the execution of JavaScript code when an image is loaded by the user's browser. This vulnerability can lead to the execution of malicious code in the context of other users' sessions, potentially compromising their accounts and allowing unauthorized actions.
