Invision Power Services (IPS) Community Suite 4.1.19.2 and earlier has a composite of Stored XSS and Information Disclosure issues in the attachments feature found in User CP. This can be triggered by any Invision Power Board user and can be used to gain access to moderator/admin accounts. The primary cause is the ability to upload an SVG document with a crafted attribute such an onload; however, full path disclosure is required for exploitation.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-8899 affects Invision Power Services Community Suite/IP.Board 4.1.19.2 and earlier. A regular forum user could abuse attachments to store script-capable SVG content and, with required path disclosure, potentially compromise moderator or administrator accounts. The bundle provides no CVSS score, KEV listing, or confirmed vendor fix. Exposure is likely limited to IPS Community Suite or Invision Power Board deployments running 4.1.19.2 or earlier with User CP attachments enabled, especially where regular users can upload SVG or similar active content. Prioritize internet-facing forums or communities with public registration. The business concern is account takeover of privileged moderators or administrators, not just nuisance XSS. Treat as high priority where affected versions and permissive attachments are confirmed. Mitigation focus: Inventory IPS Community Suite/IP.Board instances and identify versions at or below 4.1.19.2.; Check IPS vendor guidance or release notes for the supported fixed upgrade path.; Disable or restrict SVG uploads in attachments where operationally feasible..
