Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Gutenberg Blocks by Kadence Blocks – Page Builder Features plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.2.23

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, specifically via the htmlTag attribute. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.2.23, update to a version higher than 3.2.23 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting contributor access and above to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the htmlTag attribute in the affected plugin until the issue is resolved.
