When creating an MVC or WebForms form in Sitefinity CMS, you need to explicitly enable SVG image uploads. To do this, for each form you create:
Some of the properties of SVG images are read-only. For example, SVG images do not generate and store different sizes of thumbnail but just scale to the default size you set in the Image or Image gallery widget. Refer to the following table:
SVG images are XML-based and JavaScript can be embedded in an XML file. Since JavaScript may be vulnerable to the system and for security reasons, by default, Sitefinity CMS sanitizes SVG images via a file processor SVG sanitizer. The SVG sanitizer removes all non-whitelisted SVG tags, attributes, and JavaScript code lines embedded in SVG images XML files. For more information about file processors, see Administration: Libraries and file processors.
NOTE: Be aware that if your SVG image’s JavaScript code intended result is, for example, a button to be clicked or to perform any other activity, the activity will not be performed.
IMPORTANT:We do not recommend disabling the SVG sanitizer as this may result in breaches to the system.
