Summary
The Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.2 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.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with Author-level access can upload a malicious SVG file that executes scripts in the browsers of users accessing the file, potentially leading to session theft or unauthorized actions.
Recommendation
Update the Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload plugin to the latest version that fixes this vulnerability. Consider restricting SVG upload capabilities to trusted users.
