CVE-2024-13465

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions aBlocks - WordPress Gutenberg Blocks plugin versions up to and including 1.6.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the "Table Of Content" Block, specifically in the markerView attribute, due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 1.6.1, update to a version higher than 1.6.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "Table Of Content" Block to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the markerView attribute in the affected block until the issue is resolved.
