Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: stellarwp
Product: Kadence Blocks — Page Builder Toolkit for Gutenberg Editor

Description

The Gutenberg Blocks with AI by Kadence WP – Page Builder Features plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘titleFont’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.38 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

Technical Analysis

The Kadence Blocks plugin for WordPress, specifically the Gutenberg Blocks with AI by Kadence WP – Page Builder Features component, suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'titleFont' parameter. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages, which executes when those pages are accessed by others. The root cause is insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of this parameter in all versions up to 3.2.38. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability. There is no indication of an official patch or vendor advisory at this time, and no known exploits have been reported.

Potential Impact

An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure when other users view the compromised content. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. Since the vulnerability is stored XSS, it can persist and affect multiple users accessing the injected pages.

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 applying manual input validation or sanitization controls if feasible. Monitor official channels from stellarwp for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
