Beware of SVG files bearing gifts! A sneaky exploit lets attackers upload SVG files to execute stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on Total.js version 5013. It’s like a digital Trojan horse, but with fewer wooden soldiers and more code injection.

Hot Take:
Watch out, internet! Yet another SVG file has gone rogue and is wreaking havoc with the latest XSS vulnerability. It’s like the SVG files have decided to form a rock band, and their lead singer is named “Test Alert.” Someone needs to tell these files they’re supposed to be artistic, not antagonistic!
Key Points:
- Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability via SVG file upload in Total.js version 5013.
- The exploit was discovered and shared by Andrey Stoykov.
- Attack involves uploading a malicious SVG file that triggers the payload when downloaded.
