Technical Summary
CVE-2026-12900 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Spectra Legacy – Gutenberg Blocks WordPress plugin by brainstormforce. The issue exists in the uagb/image block due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, enabling authenticated attackers with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts.

Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable block.

The vulnerability does not impact availability but compromises confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent. The CVSS score is 6.4 (medium severity) reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the vulnerable uagb/image block if possible.
