Description

There is a setting with which the admin can block SVG (scalable vector graphics) uploading to the file galleries, because of the inherent security risks SVG files may pose.

If this block is active, it over-reacts. If a user wants to upload multiple files (via multi selection), and ONE of them is SVG, each an every file gets blocked from upload claiming a security block. This does happen with PNG (portable network graphics) and JPG files, which do not pose security risks (at least not the same as SVG).
