CVE-2026-114431 Details
Description
The Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin before 4.2.3 does not pass a replaced media file through the WordPress upload pipeline, so the upload prefilter that SVG-sanitizer Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin before 4.2.3 rely on never runs, allowing an authenticated user with upload access to store an SVG file containing script that executes when the file is opened directly. It requires an SVG-enabling Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin before 4.2.3 to be active, as the replace path otherwise rejects SVG uploads.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 4.2.3. The issue arises because the plugin does not route replaced media files through the WordPress upload pipeline. As a result, the upload prefilter that SVG-sanitizer plugins depend on does not execute. This flaw allows an authenticated user with upload privileges to upload an SVG file containing a script that runs when the file is directly accessed. Exploitation requires an active SVG-enabling plugin, as the replacement path normally blocks SVG uploads.
Users are advised to update the Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin to version 4.2.3 or later.
