Between 700 and 749

Europe's most visited off road website. Established in December 2010, MX Vice's first site debuted in early 2011 and has followed a strategy put together by former Digital Agency owner James Burfield. Working hard over the past 3 years the business really started to come together after the appointment of 19 year old (now 23) Lewis Phillips as Editor. Taking a chance on youth has proved to be the making of MX Vice. The site has over 200,000 visitors each month and reaches a minimum of 5.4 million people across all social platforms.

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.
