The Animation Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin before 2.7.0 does not sanitise uploaded SVG/SVGZ files, which it adds to the list of allowed upload types, allowing users with the upload_files capability (Author and above) to upload files containing malicious JavaScript, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-13330 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Animation Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin prior to version 2.7.0. The plugin adds SVG and SVGZ file types to the allowed upload list but fails to sanitize these files properly. Users with the upload_files capability (typically Authors and above) can upload SVG/SVGZ files containing malicious JavaScript, which can then be executed in the context of the affected site, leading to persistent XSS attacks.
Potential Impact
An attacker with upload_files capability can upload malicious SVG/SVGZ files containing JavaScript, resulting in stored XSS. This can lead to unauthorized script execution in the browsers of users viewing the affected content, potentially compromising user sessions, stealing sensitive information, or performing actions on behalf of the user.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict upload_files capability to trusted users only and consider disabling SVG/SVGZ uploads if possible.
