FKIE_CVE-2022-33994

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2022-07-30 20:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 04:49
Severity
3.0 (Low) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N
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.
