The Cozy Blocks – Page Builder for Gutenberg Editor & FSE with 700+ Patterns, 58 Blocks & Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored… (CVE-2026-75019)
Description
The Cozy Blocks WordPress plugin up to version 2.2.16 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) via the cozyHoverEffect block attribute. Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute when a page is viewed. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing event-handler injection despite wp_kses_post filtering. This can lead to script execution in users' browsers without requiring user interaction.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-75019 describes a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in The Cozy Blocks – Page Builder for Gutenberg Editor & FSE with 700+ Patterns, 58 Blocks & Templates WordPress plugin. The flaw exists in the cozyHoverEffect.boxShadow.color attribute, where input is not properly sanitized or escaped. The injected payload bypasses wp_kses_post filtering because it contains no angle brackets but uses a double-quote breakout to inject event handlers at render time. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can exploit this to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes when any user accesses the compromised page.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute in the context of any user viewing those pages. This can lead to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, or other malicious actions limited to the scope of the affected WordPress site. The vulnerability does not require user interaction to trigger once the page is loaded.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Cozy Blocks plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor addressing this vulnerability.
