Overview

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

The Gutenverse Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG file upload in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.2. This is due to the plugin's framework component adding SVG to the allowed MIME types via the upload_mimes filter without implementing any sanitization of SVG file contents. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to upload SVG files containing malicious JavaScript that executes when the file is viewed, leading to arbitrary JavaScript execution in victims' browsers.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
