Technical Summary
The Post Grid, Form Maker, Popup Maker, WooCommerce Blocks, Post Blocks, Post Carousel – Combo Blocks plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'tag' attribute in blocks. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of input. This vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.2.80 inclusive. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring low privileges, no user interaction, scope changed, with low confidentiality and integrity impact, and no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable 'tag' attribute. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages, potentially leading to data theft, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but not availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official patch or fix link is provided in the available data.
