Description
The Houzez theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the houzez_property_img_upload() and houzez_property_attachment_upload() functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Houzez WordPress theme, affecting all versions up to 4.1.6. It occurs because the theme does not properly sanitize or escape input when uploading SVG files via specific functions, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute whenever a user accesses the uploaded SVG file.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts in the context of the affected website. This can lead to theft of user data, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions when users view the infected SVG files. Since the attacker does not need to be authenticated, it poses a significant security risk.
