Stored XSS via unsanitized SVG uploads
Published Oct 30, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in Modernaweb Studio Black Widgets For Elementor 1.3.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts via SVG uploads. The plugin accepts SVG content from widget authors without sufficient input sanitization and later serves the stored file without escaping its active markup. Author-level access is required, and the script executes in a visitor’s browser when the uploaded SVG file is accessed, enabling content manipulation or data access in that session.
