What the vulnerability does
The Easy SVG Support plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG file uploads in all versions up to, and including, 4.0 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.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

An attacker with high-level site privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers when they view affected pages. The vulnerability requires specific conditions to exploit and has limited impact scope.
What an attacker can do
