Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Bootstrap Blocks for WP Editor v2 plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.5.0

Description The issue is related to stored cross-site scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the 'gtb-bootstrap/column' block. 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, 2.5.0, update to a version higher than 2.5.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'gtb-bootstrap/column' block to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict the ability of users with Contributor-level access and above to inject scripts in pages.
