Stored XSS via improperly sanitized SVG uploads
Published Apr 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in Revolution Slider's Slider Revolution 6.6.20 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through SVG uploads. The SVG upload path accepts active content without sufficient input sanitization, and rendered pages output the stored SVG content without adequate escaping. Administrator access is required by default, but sites that extend Slider Revolution configuration rights to authors expose the same script execution in visitors' browsers.
