GHSA-hmvq-8p83-cq52
MEDIUMDNN vulnerable to stored cross-site-scripting (XSS) via SVG upload
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Blast Radius
DotNetNuke.CoreReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects NuGet packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
Sanitization of the content of uploaded SVG files was not covering all possible XSS scenarios.
Details
DNN validates the contents of SVG's to ensure they are valid and do not contain any malicious code. These checks were introduced as part of CVE-2025-48378.
However, the checks to ensure there are no script elements within the SVG files are not comprehensive and may allow some malicious SVG files to be uploaded.
As this vulnerability allows for the execution of arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of the user's browser, it can lead to a range of attacks, including data exfiltration, session hijacking, and defacement of the web application to name a few.
Affected Packages

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for DotNetNuke.Core. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update DotNetNuke.Core to 10.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hmvq-8p83-cq52 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-hmvq-8p83-cq52 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-hmvq-8p83-cq52. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-hmvq-8p83-cq52 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-hmvq-8p83-cq52 across NuGet dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
