QID 994854: NodeJs (Npm) Security Update for external-svg-loader (GHSA-xc2r-jf2x-gjr8)

According to the docs, svg-loader will strip all JS code before injecting the SVG file for security reasons but the input sanitization logic is not sufficient and can be trivially bypassed. This allows an attacker to craft a malicious SVG which can result in XSS.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.

CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.4 severity.
