CVE-2022-25759
Published: 22 July 2022
Summary
CVE-2022-25759 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Convert-Svg-Core Project Convert-Svg-Core. Its CVSS base score is 9.9 (Critical).
Operationally, ranked in the top 15.9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
The package convert-svg-core before version 0.6.2 is vulnerable to remote code injection, tracked as CVE-2022-25759. The flaw, assigned CWE-94, allows an attacker to supply a specially crafted SVG file that results in arbitrary code execution when processed by the library. It carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.9, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity Availability.
An authenticated remote attacker can exploit the issue by submitting a malicious SVG containing an injected payload. Successful exploitation grants the ability to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application using the library, potentially leading to full system compromise when the package is integrated into server-side workflows that accept untrusted SVG input.
Public references, including the Snyk advisory and the upstream GitHub repository, indicate that the vulnerability was addressed by a fix merged in commit 7e6031ac7427cf82cf312cb4a25040f2e6efe7a5 and released in version 0.6.2. Users are advised to upgrade the package to the patched release; the associated pull request and issue thread provide the change details for verification.
EPSS for the CVE rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0531 on 2025-01-22 before receding to the current value of 0.0202, indicating a measurable increase in observed exploitation interest well after the original disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
