CVE-2026-104676: Zion Builder: Does not sanitize uploaded SVG files or validate their contents before storing them in a publicly accessible location and serving them from the site's own origin

Zion Builder: Does not sanitize uploaded SVG files or validate their contents before storing them in a publicly accessible location and serving them from the site's own origin

The Zion Builder WordPress plugin through 3.6.17 does not sanitize uploaded SVG files or validate their contents before storing them in a publicly accessible location and serving them from the site's own origin, allowing authenticated users with the Author role or above to upload a crafted SVG containing JavaScript that executes in the browser of anyone who opens the file.

Description from the National Vulnerability Database, published by WPScan

What it means for a small business

Zion Builder is a WordPress plugin. If your website uses it, the flaw is on your site whether or not anyone has noticed yet: attackers scan the whole internet for the plugins with published flaws, usually within days of a record like this one going public.

Most small-business sites run 15 to 40 plugins, and few owners know the list. You can check from WordPress itself (Plugins, then Installed Plugins), or let our free plugin check look it up by name.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.24%, higher than 14% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored November 15, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Is Zion Builder on the danger list? Our free plugin check shows every recorded flaw for it and the version that fixes each.
Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
