Official Description

The '/api/v1/files/images/{flow_id}/{file_name}' endpoint serves SVG files with the 'image/svg+xml' content type without sanitizing their content.

Since SVG files can contain embedded JavaScript, an attacker can upload a malicious SVG that executes arbitrary JavaScript when viewed by other users, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS). This allows stealing authentication tokens stored in cookies, including JWT access and refresh tokens.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-5026 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
