This is the place to ask your peers’ advice and share your experiences and resources. Content that is auto-posted, does not contain a relevant question, is solicitation, SPAM or a sales pitch, and will be deleted immediately. 2) Be curious with your fellow group members. This means respecting opinions (cordial disagreement is fine), refraining from rude or violent language, and not soliciting group members. Violation of this rule will result in automatic removal from the group. 3) Please do not be “spammy" with posts. This means posting the same post multiple times or posting articles without commentary. Please be sure to point out something interesting from the article when you post. Thank you for joining the Publishers Weekly group.

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.
