SVG Malware – Hidden Threats

SVG malware is a stealthy and evolving cyber threat that leverages Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files to deliver malicious payloads. Because SVG files are XML-based and can embed JavaScript, attackers can use them to execute harmful scripts when unsuspecting users open or preview the file—often through email, social media, or compromised websites. Common uses include redirecting victims to phishing sites, initiating drive-by downloads, or injecting code into web applications.
