Description
The Smart Icons For WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-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 Smart Icons For WordPress plugin permits users to upload SVG files, but the code fails to sanitize and escape user input. Consequently, an attacker with Editor-level or higher privileges can embed malicious script tags inside an SVG upload, causing those scripts to run whenever any site visitor loads the file. This stored cross‑site scripting flaw is a classic CWE‑79 problem that can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or credential theft.

Affected Systems

All WordPress installations that have the Smart Icons For WordPress plugin (smartpixels:Smart Icons For WordPress) at version 1.0.4 or earlier are affected. Any site running this plugin and allowing SVG uploads is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 6.4, indicating moderate severity. Its EPSS score is below 1%, suggesting that exploitation attempts are currently rare, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. However, because the flaw requires authenticated access with at least Editor rights, the attack vector is internal, so attackers must already have legitimate site access to exploit it.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Smart Icons For WordPress to the latest available version, or remove the plugin if it is no longer supported.
  • If an update is not available, disable the SVG upload feature or restrict it to administrators only.
  • Implement a web application firewall or file‑upload sanitizer that strips disallowed tags from SVG content to prevent script injection.
