AI-suggested

Users should monitor the vendor's advisories for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling SVG file uploads if possible to reduce risk. Implementing additional web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious SVG content may provide temporary mitigation.

Description

The WP Awesome Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 0.4.0 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.
