Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload plugin for WordPress, where insufficient input sanitization and output escaping allow authenticated users with Author-level access or higher to upload SVG files containing malicious scripts. These scripts are then stored and executed whenever any user accesses the infected SVG file, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

Impact Analysis

An attacker with Author-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts via SVG file uploads, which will execute in the browsers of users who view the infected SVG files. This can lead to unauthorized actions, data theft, session hijacking, or other malicious activities within the affected WordPress site.
