Prior to 2026.6.0, 2026.5.1, 2026.4.2, and 2026.1.5, insufficient SVG sanitization in upload and user avatar handling could lead to cross-site scripting when a user visited specific URLs that are not normally part of community browsing. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.6.0, 2026.5.1, 2026.4.2, and 2026.1.5.
