Description
Summary

Details
Users with "admin" role can set background for a custom map, this allow the upload of SVG file that can contain XSS payload which will trigger onload. This led to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
PoC

-
Go over to "$URL/maps/custom", the Manage Custom Maps.
-
Create a new map then choose to edit it.
-
Choose the "Set Background" option.
-

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" onload="alert(document.domain)">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" />
</svg>
