Description
The Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized malicious SVG file uploads in versions up to, and including, 3.0.13. This is due to improper restrictions on allowing SVG file uploads. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with post editor access to upload SVG files that could contain malicious content such as web scripts.
