Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the Internet?

Yes, if an attacker can obtain access to any workflow that accepts SVG uploads and triggers server-side processing. The attacker does not need direct access to the internal network; they only need the application to accept and process the crafted SVG on their behalf.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this?

Typically, the attacker must be able to upload SVG files through Emlog's media management or any feature that stores and later processes SVG content. In many deployments this is limited to authenticated or administrative users, but misconfigurations can broaden this surface.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust approach is to disable or strictly limit SVG uploads and ensure that any remaining SVG handling occurs in a sandbox without outbound network access. When SVG support is required, sanitize or convert SVGs to non-active formats before rendering and ensure that processing libraries are configured not to follow external URLs.
