CVE-2022-33994
Last modified
CVE-2022-33994 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.56% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
