Description
The ThemeREX Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 2.35.1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The plugin’s SVG rendering routine calls the trx_addons_get_svg_from_file() function on an unvalidated 'svg' parameter supplied via the shortcode or Elementor widget settings, then outputs it via the trx_addons_show_layout() function. Because there is no check on the URL’s origin, scheme, or the SVG content itself, authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, can supply a remote SVG and inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the ThemeREX Addons plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 2.35.1.1. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape SVG file uploads. Authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher can upload malicious SVG files containing scripts. These scripts are then executed whenever a user views the page containing the SVG, potentially allowing attackers to run arbitrary web scripts.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected website. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as stealing user session data, defacing the website, redirecting users to malicious sites, or performing actions on behalf of other users without their consent. Since the attack requires Contributor-level access, it could be exploited by insiders or compromised accounts.
