WordPress File Upload plugin vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting

CVE-2024-7301

What is CVE-2024-7301?

The WordPress File Upload plugin for WordPress exposes a vulnerability that allows stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks through improperly handled SVG file uploads in all versions up to and including 4.24.8. This vulnerability arises from a lack of sufficient input sanitization and output escaping, enabling unauthenticated attackers to embed arbitrary web scripts in SVG files. When users access the compromised SVG file, the injected scripts are executed, potentially leading to unauthorized actions on the affected WordPress sites.
