Descriptions
The Safe SVG WordPress plugin before 2.2.6 has its sanitisation code is only running for paths that call wp_handle_upload, but not for example for code that uses wp_handle_sideload which is often used to upload attachments via raw POST data.
The Safe SVG plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file.
