## What is CVE-2024-29833?

CVE-2024-29833 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in 10Web PhotoGallery, published on 26 Mar 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

The image upload component allows SVG files and the regular expression used to remove script tags can be bypassed by using a Cross Site Scripting payload which does not match the regular expression; one example of this is the inclusion of whitespace within the script tag. An attacker must target an authenticated user with permissions to access this feature, however once uploaded the payload is also accessible to unauthenticated users.

Weakness: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation)
