Description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary script in the victim's browser in the Parse Server origin.
The vulnerability exists due to cross-site scripting in the file upload handling for SVG files when serving uploaded SVG content inline. A remote user can upload a specially crafted SVG file containing JavaScript to execute arbitrary script in the victim's browser in the Parse Server origin.
User interaction is required for a victim to load the uploaded SVG file, and the issue affects deployments where file upload is enabled for authenticated users.
