SVG Support <= 2.5.10 - Authenticated (Author+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File Upload

6.4
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
CVE CVE-2024-10222
CVSS 6.4 (Medium)
Publicly Published February 21, 2025
Last Updated February 21, 2025
Researcher Francesco Carlucci

Description

The SVG Support plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.10 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. By default, this can only be exploited by administrators, but the ability to upload SVG files can be extended to authors.
