AI-suggested

Upgrade the Master Blocks plugin to version 1.5.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since the vulnerability is due to missing authorization on a REST route and improper output escaping, applying the official update will remediate the issue. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

The Master Blocks WordPress plugin before 1.5.0 does not have authorisation on one of its REST routes, allowing unauthenticated users to update its settings, including a value that is output unescaped in the admin area, leading to Stored XSS that executes in the session of any administrator visiting a wp-admin page.
