Description
The Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.2 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 Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload WordPress plugin contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that arises from insufficient sanitization of SVG file uploads. Authenticated users with Author privileges or higher can embed malicious scripts into an SVG file, and the script will run in the browsers of any visitor who opens the SVG. This enables attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of site visitors, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement of site content.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites that have installed versions of the Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload plugin up to and including 1.1.2 are affected. Any site using this plugin in that version range and that permits Author‑level users to upload SVG files is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.4, indicating moderate severity, and an EPSS score of less than 1 %, suggesting a low likelihood of exploitation so far. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires only an existing Author‑level account and the ability to upload a crafted SVG file, making the attack fairly straightforward once the plugin is present and the user can upload files.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload plugin to version 1.1.3 or newer where the input sanitization bug has been fixed.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, disable or uninstall the plugin to block further SVG uploads, or configure upload restrictions so that only trusted administrators can upload media.
  • Search the media library for previously uploaded SVG files, remove any that appear malicious, and review recent upload logs for suspicious activity.
