Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The PWA — easy way to Progressive Web App plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.6.3

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows 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.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 1.6.3, update to a version that addresses the Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to SVG file uploads for users with Author-level access and above until a patch is available. Additionally, ensure proper input sanitization and output escaping for all file uploads to prevent similar issues.
