Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the File Management module of FluentCMS versions up to 0.0.5. The application fails to sanitize SVG file uploads, which can contain embedded <script> tags. An authenticated administrator can upload a malicious SVG file that, when accessed via its public URL, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session. This occurs because the files are served from a public directory without restrictive security headers. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2025-15549 and requires administrative privileges to exploit.
