CVE-2026-49236 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-11

Apache Batik is a library that processes and renders SVG graphics files. An SSRF vulnerability in how it handles SVG color-profile elements with xml:base attributes allows attackers to bypass same-origin checks and potentially access internal resources. This could enable information disclosure or attacks on backend systems.

Technologies: [Apache XML Graphics Batik](https://junglewise.ai/threats/technologies/xml-graphics-batik). Vendors: [Apache](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/apache).

## How to fix

- Fixed in 1.20

## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in Apache Batik's external resource handling where SVG color-profile elements with xml:base attributes can bypass same-origin policy checks. The flaw occurs during SVG parsing when processing color-profile references; the xml:base attribute is not properly validated against Batik's external resource restrictions, allowing an attacker to craft malicious SVG files that trigger requests to arbitrary network locations. An attacker can exploit this by submitting a crafted SVG document to an application using vulnerable Batik versions, leading to server-side request forgery.

## Affected products
