CVE-2026-19697

The GutenKit WordPress plugin before 2.5.0 does not sanitise uploaded SVG files on all of the upload paths it enables, allowing users with the file upload capability, such as Author, to upload a malicious SVG and perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against any user opening it, including administrators.

What the metrics mean

  • It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
  • For an attacker who can reach it, no special conditions are needed to exploit it.
  • To exploit it, an administrative account is needed.
  • Beyond that, someone has to be persuaded to take an action first.
