Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Kona Gallery Block plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.7

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the "Kona: Instagram for Gutenberg" Block, specifically in the align attribute, 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, 1.7, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "Kona: Instagram for Gutenberg" Block to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the align attribute in the affected Block until the issue is resolved.
