Summary SVG attribute values derived from user-supplied options (`backgroundColor`, `fontFamily`, `textColor`) were not XML-escaped before interpolation into SVG output. This could allow Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) when applications pass untrusted input to `createAvatar()` and serve the resulting SVG inline or with `Content-Type: image/svg+xml`. Affected packages • `@dicebear/core` — `backgroundColor` option values interpolated into SVG attributes without escaping (affects `solid` and `gradientLinear` background types) • `@dicebear/initials` — `fontFamily` and `textColor` option values interpolated into SVG attributes without escaping Fix All affected SVG attribute values are now properly escaped using XML entity encoding. Users should upgrade to the listed patched versions. Mitigating factors • Applications that validate input against the library's JSON Schema before passing it to `createAvatar()` are not affected • The DiceBear CLI validates input via AJV and was not vulnerable • Exploitation requires that an application passes untrusted, unvalidated external input directly as option values
