Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CodeMirror Blocks plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.2.4

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Code Mirror 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, 1.2.4, update to a version higher than 1.2.4 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Code Mirror block to minimize the risk of exploitation.
