Payload CMS contains a vulnerability related to the sanitization of user-uploaded Scalable Vector Graphics files, tracked as CVE-2026-105862. The flaw exists because the upload paths fail to fully validate and scrub malicious content embedded within SVG files under specific configurations.

Because the application stores this file without complete neutralization, it bypasses the intended sanitization routines. When a victim user downloads and opens the rendered SVG file, the embedded script executes within their browser context. This introduces a stored cross-site scripting vector that can lead to session hijacking, data leakage, or further malicious interactions within the application’s domain framework.
The exploit involves crafting a malicious `.svg` file containing embedded JavaScript code inside `
