CVE-2022-33994 (GCVE-0-2022-33994)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-07-30 19:27 – Updated: 2024-08-03 08:16
VLAI
Summary
The Gutenberg plugin through 13.7.3 for WordPress allows stored XSS by the Contributor role via an SVG document to the "Insert from URL" feature. NOTE: the XSS payload does not execute in the context of the WordPress instance's domain; however, analogous attempts by low-privileged users to reference SVG documents are blocked by some similar products, and this behavioral difference might have security relevance to some WordPress site administrators.
