CVE-2026-6252: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in mr2p Meta Field Block – Display custom fields in the Block Editor without coding
CVE-2026-6252 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Meta Field Block plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 1. 5. 2. The issue arises from insufficient sanitization and escaping of the 'tagName' block attribute, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute whenever any user views the affected page. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6. 4, indicating a medium severity level. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Meta Field Block plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the 'tagName' block attribute. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of other users viewing the compromised pages. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.5.2. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patch or official remediation level has been published by the vendor as of the data provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with contributor-level access or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure of information or manipulation of page content. The vulnerability does not impact system availability. There are no reported active exploits in the wild.
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 additional input validation or content filtering at the application or web server level to mitigate risk.
