DescriptionCVE.org

The IndieBlocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘kind’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 0.13.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for 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.

AnalysisAI

Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in IndieBlocks WordPress plugin up to version 0.13.2 allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts via the 'kind' parameter. These scripts execute when any user visits an affected page. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified, and EPSS score is low (0.04%).

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is a Stored XSS (CWE-79) in the IndieBlocks plugin for WordPress, specifically in the 'kind' parameter used in the facepile-content block. The plugin fails to properly sanitize input and escape output, allowing stored scripts. CPE data confirms all versions up to 0.13.2 are affected. The attack vector is network-based with low complexity, requiring low privileges (Contributor-level) and no user interaction, but scope changes to the browser context.

RemediationAI

Upgrade IndieBlocks plugin to version 0.13.3 or later, which contains the fix. The patch is available in the WordPress plugin repository and Trac changeset. No workarounds are documented; however, limiting Contributor-level access to trusted users can reduce risk. Side effect: upgrading may require testing for compatibility with existing content.
