## Summary A low-privileged user can craft a malicious uploaded SVG image that submits a POST request to an arbitrary backend endpoint when a user (including administrator) opens it in a separate browser tab and clicks the image. By tricking an administrator into opening a link and clicking on the image, an attacker can execute actions with administrator privileges, including elevating their own account to administrator.
