Description
The BSK PDF Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

AI Analysis

Impact

The BSK PDF Manager plugin in WordPress is vulnerable to stored XSS through SVG file uploads in versions up to 3.7.1. Insufficient sanitization of SVG content allows an Administrator or higher to embed malicious scripts that run for any user who opens the file. This flaw can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement when the script executes, affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the site.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the BSK PDF Manager plugin version 3.7.1 or earlier on a multisite network, where the unfiltered_html option is disabled. Administrators with upload permissions can exploit the flaw; all users who view the SVG files are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of <1% signals low current exploitation likelihood, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authenticated access at the Administrator level and the ability to upload an SVG file. An attacker must do so in a multisite environment with unfiltered_html turned off and then lure other users to view the injected file for the scripts to run.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the BSK PDF Manager plugin to a version newer than 3.7.1
  • Disable SVG uploads for non‑Administrator roles or block the SVG file type entirely
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, restrict unfiltered_html to trusted site users or apply a security plugin that sanitizes SVG content
