Description
The Easy SVG Support plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG file uploads in all versions up to, and including, 4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Easy SVG Support plugin stores malicious SVG files uploaded by users with Author-level access, allowing the injection of arbitrary JavaScript that runs whenever a victim views the SVG. This is a classic stored XSS flaw (CWE‑79) that can lead to cookie theft, session hijacking, or the execution of further malicious payloads inside the victim’s browser.

Affected Systems

All releases of the Easy SVG Support plugin for WordPress up to and including version 4.0 are affected. No other products or versions are listed, so WordPress sites that employ this plugin in any of those versions are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.4 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score of < 1 % shows a very low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting no known public exploits. However, since an attacker must be authenticated with Author or higher privileges, the attack vector is limited to internal site editors or administrators using the plugin’s upload interface.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Easy SVG Support plugin to the latest available version where the input sanitization issue has been fixed.
  • If you cannot upgrade immediately, change the upload permissions so that only administrators can upload SVG files or disable SVG uploads entirely via the plugin settings or WordPress mime‑type filters.
  • As a temporary measure, audit existing SVG files for malicious content, remove any that were uploaded before the fix, and enforce a strict Content‑Security‑Policy that blocks inline scripts from SVG files.
