Summary
YesWiki before 4.7.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79) in the bazar ImageField class. Low-privilege authenticated users can upload SVG files without sanitization, and the SVG is served as image/svg+xml so its script runs for users who view the entry or file. The attack can be carried out remotely over the network with user interaction.
