Description

CVE-2026-109933 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Otter Blocks WordPress plugin before version 3.2.8. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize and escape user-supplied block styling values before embedding them into inline stylesheets. This flaw allows users with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts that execute when any visitor, including administrators, views the affected post. The vulnerability is fixed in version 3.2.8.
