The YMC Filter WordPress plugin before 3.12.9 does not sanitize SVG files uploaded through one of its icon upload features and permits their upload by low-privileged users, allowing users with the Author role and above to upload a file containing JavaScript that executes in the site's origin when the file is viewed.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
| Vendor | Product | Default status | Versions | ||||||
