Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Genesis Blocks plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.1.3

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Sharing block due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. 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 Genesis Blocks plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.1.3, update to a version later than 3.1.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Sharing block for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
