Summary
The Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload WordPress plugin (versions before 1.1.6) is affected. An authenticated user with Author-level access or higher could upload a crafted SVG file that bypasses the plugin's sanitization, allowing malicious scripts to be stored on the site and run in visitors' browsers, particularly WebKit-based browsers such as Safari.

The Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload WordPress plugin before 1.1.6 does not prevent animation elements in uploaded SVG files from changing a link's target to a javascript: URI, which could allow users with the author role and above to bypass its SVG sanitization and perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute in WebKit-based browsers such as Safari.
