Safe SVG

by 10up on WordPress.org

Enable SVG uploads and sanitize them to stop XML/SVG vulnerabilities in your WordPress website.

Safe SVG is the best way to Allow SVG Uploads in WordPress!

It gives you the ability to allow SVG uploads whilst making sure that they’re sanitized to stop SVG/XML vulnerabilities affecting your site. It also gives you the ability to preview your uploaded SVGs in the media library in all views.

Current Features

  • Sanitised SVGs – Don’t open up security holes in your WordPress site by allowing uploads of unsanitised files.
  • SVGO Optimisation – Runs your SVGs through the SVGO tool on upload to save you space. This feature is disabled by default but can be enabled by adding the following code: add_filter( 'safe_svg_optimizer_enabled', '__return_true' );
  • View SVGs in the Media Library – Gone are the days of guessing which SVG is the correct one, we’ll enable SVG previews in the WordPress media library.
  • Choose Who Can Upload – Restrict SVG uploads to certain users on your WordPress site or allow anyone to upload.

Initially a proof of concept for #24251.
