CVE-2026-59188: Part-DB Part-DB-server stored XSS via SVG extension spoofing

CVE-2026-59188 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.4 · Published 2026-10-23

Part-DB is an open source inventory management system for electronic components. An authenticated attacker can upload a malicious SVG file with embedded JavaScript using a fake filename extension (like .jpg), bypassing the system's sanitization checks. When other users view the attachment, the script executes in their browser with access to their session, enabling account takeover and credential theft.

Vendors: Part-DB.

How to fix

Fixed in: 2.12.3

Technical details

The vulnerability is a stored XSS (CWE-79) caused by reliance on user-controlled filename extensions rather than actual file content to determine whether SVG sanitization is needed. An authenticated attacker uploads an SVG payload with a non-SVG extension, passes the extension check, and when viewed inline the server serves it with Content-Type: image/svg+xml, causing browser script execution in the Part-DB origin. The fix detects actual MIME type via file magic bytes and applies proper SVG sanitization regardless of filename.
