Summary
The Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload WordPress plugin before 1.1.6 does not stop animation elements in uploaded SVG files from changing a link's target to a javascript: URI. This bypasses its SVG sanitization and allows stored XSS (CWE-79). Users with the author role or above can exploit it, and the script runs in browsers built on WebKit such as Safari. A public exploit is linked in the references.
