What the vulnerability does
The Houzez theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the houzez_property_img_upload() and houzez_property_attachment_upload() functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Houzez versions 4.1.6 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages. An attacker can craft a malicious link that, when clicked by a site visitor, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement of site content.
What an attacker can do
Inject and execute malicious JavaScript in visitors' browsers to steal session tokens or credentials.
Potential impact on your site
Visitors may have their sessions hijacked or credentials stolen if they click attacker-controlled links.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must trick a site visitor into clicking a malicious link (user interaction required).
