Description
The SVG Support plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG animation elements in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.1. This is due to the SVG sanitizer allowing an animateTransform element whose attributeName targets a link's href and whose values attribute carries a javascript: URL, which lets the animation rewrite the link into a script URL after sanitization in WebKit browsers such as Safari. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Author-level access and above who are permitted to upload SVGs to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user views the file and clicks the link.
