Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Gutenberg Blocks with AI by Kadence WP – Page Builder Features plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.2.37

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the advanced heading widget, specifically via the typer effect. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.2.37, update to a version higher than 3.2.37 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the advanced heading widget, especially the typer effect feature, to minimize the risk of exploitation.
