Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
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.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
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.
