Postiz is an AI social media scheduling tool. Prior to version 2.21.6, a file upload validation bypass allows any authenticated user to upload arbitrary HTML, SVG, or other executable file types to the server by spoofing the Content-Type header. The uploaded files are then served by nginx with a Content-Type derived from their original extension (text/html, image/svg+xml), enabling Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the context of the application's origin. This can lead to session riding, account takeover, and full compromise of other users' accounts. Version 2.21.6 contains a fix.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires authenticated access to Postiz application with file upload privileges (PR:L indicates low-privilege user account sufficient). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is HIGH despite requiring authenticated access (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated attacker with basic user privileges creates an account on the Postiz platform and navigates to a file upload feature (profile picture, media attachment, etc.). They craft a malicious HTML file containing JavaScript session hijacking code or an SVG image with embedded XSS payload. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade immediately to Postiz version 2.21.6 or later, released by the vendor to address this vulnerability (https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/releases/tag/v2.21.6). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
