Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in EspoCRM versions <= 9.3.3 due to improper handling of SVG uploads and a permissive Content Security Policy (CSP). While the application's CSP (default-src 'self') blocks inline scripts within SVGs, it fails to define a restrictive script-src, thereby allowing the execution of external scripts from the same origin. An attacker can exploit this by uploading a malicious JavaScript file as a standard attachment and then uploading an SVG that references that script via the 'entryPoint=download' URL. When a victim views the SVG through the attachment or image entry points, the browser renders it as a top-level document and executes the attacker's script within the EspoCRM origin. This issue is fixed in version 9.3.4.
