Release Notes

svg/svgo (svgo)

v4.1.0

Compare Source

This minor release upgrades the SAX parser and introduces stricter XML validation. It also includes important security hardening for removeScripts, dependency updates, and improvements to the test and regression infrastructure.

If SVGO is valuable to you or your organization, please consider supporting the project on OpenCollective. Your sponsorship helps fund ongoing maintenance and security work.

Stricter XML validation

SVGO now uses sax 1.6.1, upgraded from 1.5.0 (#​2257).

The new parser version validates numeric character references against the ranges permitted by XML. Invalid references are now rejected in both text and attributes, including:

  • disallowed control characters such as &#​1;, , and ;
  • UTF-16 surrogate code points such as �;
  • invalid XML code points such as .

Valid boundary values—including U+0020, U+D7FF, U+E000, U+FFFD, and characters through U+10FFFF—remain supported.

Parser failures are consistently exposed as SvgoParserError errors with an Invalid character entity reason.

This is an intentional behavior change: malformed SVGs that were previously accepted may now produce a parser error, while valid XML documents are unaffected.

Security

The removeScripts plugin has been hardened against several script-execution bypasses:

  • Filters executable data: URLs containing HTML, XHTML, or SVG documents while preserving inert data such as PNG images, and filters legacy vbscript: URLs (#​2263).
  • Sanitizes content inside SVG <foreignObject> elements by removing HTML event-handler attributes, srcdoc, and executable URLs from action, data, formaction, href, and src, while preserving non-executable HTML and visual content (#​2264).
  • Recognizes namespace-prefixed SVG <a> elements and removes ASCII tabs and newlines before checking URL schemes, preventing values such as java&#&#8203;9;script: from bypassing detection while preserving elements in unrelated custom namespaces (#​2268).

These changes address:

Dependencies
  • Upgraded css-select to v6 and css-what to v7, and updated SVGO's custom selector adapter for css-select v6 (#​2244).
Project maintenance

@​TrySound is back as an active SVGO maintainer.

Many thanks to @​KTibow, @​SethFalco, and @​XhmikosR for maintaining and improving SVGO over the past several years.
