# CVE-2022-25759: convert-svg-core remote code injection via SVG onload Source: https://junglewise.ai/threats/cve-2022-25759-convert-svg-core-remote-code-injection-via-svg-onload Publisher: Junglewise Threat Intelligence, https://junglewise.ai/threats Published: 2022-07-23. Updated: 2026-09-25 License: CC BY 4.0 with a link back CVE-2022-25759 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.1 · Published 2022-07-23 convert-svg-core is a Node.js library used to convert SVG images into other formats using headless Chromium. An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code by embedding it in an SVG file's onload attribute, which Chromium will execute without validation. This allows remote code execution on any server processing untrusted SVG files, potentially enabling data theft, system compromise, or lateral movement.
