CVE-2024-13733: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in sonalsinha21 SKT Blocks – Gutenberg based Page Builder
The SKT Blocks – Gutenberg based Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's skt-blocks/post-carousel block in all versions up to, and including, 1.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for 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. CVE-2025-26771 is a duplicate of this issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13733 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the SKT Blocks – Gutenberg based Page Builder plugin for WordPress. The issue arises from improper neutralization of input in the skt-blocks/post-carousel block, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.7. No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages using the vulnerable post-carousel block. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or user session compromise. The vulnerability does not impact availability and has limited confidentiality and integrity impact as per the CVSS vector.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the vulnerable post-carousel block to prevent exploitation.
