Shopware: Stored XSS via SVG file upload — no SVG sanitization

SVG files are in the allowed_extensions whitelist and can be uploaded by any admin user via the media manager. There is zero SVG content sanitization anywhere in the upload pipeline. A malicious SVG with JavaScript (onload, `, `) executes in the context of the Shopware domain when accessed.

The

Problem

In src/Core/Framework/Resources/config/packages/shopware.yaml, line 194:

allowed_extensions: ["jpg", "jpeg", "png", "webp", "avif", "gif", "svg", ...]

SVG is whitelisted. The upload path (MediaUploadController → FileSaver → TypeDetector) recognizes SVG as ImageType with VECTOR_GRAPHIC flag, but no code strips JavaScript, event handlers, or external entity references from the SVG XML.

A search of the entire codebase for SVG sanitization returns — no DOMPurify, no svg-sanitize, no strip_tags on SVG content, nothing.

Impact

Stored XSS affecting all users who view the uploaded SVG. In an e-commerce context, this can lead to admin account takeover, customer data theft, or malicious plugin installation.

Suggested

Fix

Either:

1. **Remove SVG from allowed_extensions** if SVG upload is not a core requirement
2. Sanitize SVG content on upload using a library like enshrined/svg-sanitize (strips scripts, event handlers, external references)
3. **Serve SVGs with Content-Disposition: attachment** to prevent inline rendering
4. Serve SVGs from a separate domain (like Nextcloud's usercontent.apps.nextcloud.com)

Option 2 is the most practical — enshrined/svg-sanitize is already used by WordPress and other PHP projects.
