Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Responsive Blocks – WordPress Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.9.7

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'responsive-block-editor-addons/portfolio' block due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.9.7, update to a version later than 1.9.7 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'responsive-block-editor-addons/portfolio' block to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, ensure that all users with Contributor-level access and above are trusted, as they have the ability to inject malicious scripts.
