CVE-2026-105259 Details
Description
The Easy Social Icons WordPress plugin before 4.0.3 does not sanitise SVG files, which it adds to the list of file types that may be uploaded site-wide, allowing users with the Author role and above to upload a malicious SVG containing XSS payloads. Where another installed Easy Social Icons WordPress plugin before 4.0.3 exposes an upload route to unauthenticated visitors, the same issue can be triggered without an account.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Easy Social Icons WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 4.0.3. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly sanitize SVG files, which are allowed to be uploaded site-wide. This oversight enables users with the Author role and above to upload malicious SVGs containing XSS payloads. Additionally, if another installed WordPress plugin exposes an upload route to unauthenticated visitors, this vulnerability can be exploited without an account.
Users are advised to update the Easy Social Icons WordPress plugin to version 4.0.3 or later.
