Orbit Fox SVG uploads permit author-level stored XSS
Orbit Fox versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.7 do not sanitize SVG files when the plugin's SVG upload feature is enabled. A user with the upload_files capability, Author and above by default, can upload an SVG containing JavaScript even without unfiltered_html. The script executes in the WordPress site origin when a victim views the SVG and can target an administrator session. This unscored record received deeper review because the stored-XSS payload can reach administrators; the CNA does not disclose the upload endpoint or field name.
