CVE-2024-6896Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unsanitized SVG uploads

Published Jul 24, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Stored XSS in AMP for WP 1.0.96.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through uploaded SVG files. The SVG upload path in templates/features.php accepts insufficiently sanitized SVG content and later serves it without adequate output escaping. Author-level access is required to plant the payload; script execution occurs when a visitor opens the SVG, enabling actions or data access within the page context.
