As a result, SVG content embedded in HTML (fetched as `text/html`) was susceptible to cross-site scripting. Plain SVG files (fetched as `image/svg+xml`) were not affected.\n\n### Patches\nThis issue is fixed in `0.15.0` and higher.\n\n### Workarounds\nThere is currently no workaround available without upgrading.\n\n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Open an issue in [Github](https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer/issues)\n* Email us at [daryll@enshrined.co.uk](mailto:daryll@enshrined.co.uk)\n","published":"2022-02-14T21:10:10Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:45.080247155Z","cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"enshrined/svg-sanitize","fixedVersion":"0.15.0"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer/commit/17e12ba9c2881caa6b167d0fbea555c11207fbb0","label":"darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer@17e12ba"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/23xxx/CVE-2022-23638.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer/security/advisories/GHSA-fqx8-v33p-4qcc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-23638"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer/commit/17e12ba9c2881caa6b167d0fbea555c11207fbb0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer/issues/71"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/security-advisories/blob/master/enshrined/svg-sanitize/CVE-2022-23638.yaml"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-fqx8-v33p-4qcc"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:45.080247155Z"}}
