You could say that Indie Authors World is a self-publishing service – but we don’t just deal in printing and production. We deal in transformations. Indie Authors World exists to support independent writers of all ages, experience and genres, to transform their manuscripts into the best book possible. We do it because we believe that publishing great books that really sell has the power to change lives for the better: not just for the authors themselves, but for readers, and for the wider community around us. We know that becoming a published author is a big deal: we’ve been there ourselves. Becoming a successful published author – whatever your definition of success – is an even bigger one (and yes, we’ve been there too). We’re here to help you to define success on your own terms, and to publish the book that will deliver it. For us, success means creating an impact. We believe every book can make a positive difference in the lives of the people it touches: its author; its readers; the writing community and beyond. We believe so strongly in the transformational power of authorship that we donate a proportion of our time and a share of our profits from every book to our community project, Calum’s Legacy – so when you publish with us, your book will create an even wider impact by contributing directly to creating publishing opportunities for young people in Scotland. From your first free consultation, to publication and beyond, our team and our supportive authors’ community are on hand every step of the way. Cheerleading and encouragement, expert advice and impartial opinions are all part of the package; available whenever you need them the most. Whether you’re new to publishing, or an experienced author looking for a new publishing partner, we work with writers of all ages and backgrounds to take the headache out of self-publication. We transform your aspirations into quality books that deliver the impact you want to see.

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.
