CVE-2022-34648
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAuthenticated (author+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in dmitrylitvinov Uploading SVG, WEBP and ICO files plugin <= 1.0.1 at WordPress.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAuthenticated users with author+ privileges can upload malicious SVG, WEBP, or ICO files containing embedded JavaScript that executes when viewed by other users. SVG files can contain script content, and without proper sanitization, this creates a stored XSS vulnerability.
