Stored XSS via unsanitized SVG uploads
Published Mar 26, 2025 · Updated Mar 26, 2025
Stored XSS in Digimix Studios WP SVG Upload 1.0.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via SVG uploads. The SVGSupport::filter_mimes method adds image/svg+xml to WordPress's upload allowlist without sanitizing active SVG content, leaving embedded JavaScript executable. Author-level access is required to upload the file, and the script runs when another user opens the stored SVG URL.
