Technical details

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in DbGate versions up to 7.1.4 within the SVG Icon String Handler component. The flaw is located in the 'packages/web/src/icons/FontIcon.svelte' file, where the 'applicationIcon' argument is processed without sufficient sanitization. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by providing a specially crafted SVG string, leading to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session. The vulnerability was addressed in version 7.1.5 by implementing SVG icon sanitization.
