Course Description

Overview

Explore the security implications of SVG in web browsers through this 24-minute Black Hat conference talk. Delve into the lesser-known aspects of SVG, including its ability to contain JavaScript and import external scripts and stylesheets. Understand why treating SVG like a simple image format such as JPEG can lead to significant security vulnerabilities. Learn how SVG's XML-based format for vector graphics, combined with its support for CSS styling and JavaScript manipulation, necessitates treating it with the same security considerations as HTML. Gain insights from speaker Rennie deGraaf on the potential risks and exploits associated with SVG in modern web browsers, and discover why proper security measures are crucial when handling this versatile but potentially dangerous file format.
