DescriptionCVE.org

The Blocksy Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'tagName' Block Attribute (blocksy/dynamic-data) in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.51 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-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 in the Blocksy Companion WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.1.51) allows authenticated attackers with author-level access to inject persistent malicious JavaScript via the unsanitized tagName attribute of the blocksy/dynamic-data Gutenberg block. Any visitor who loads a page containing the injected content will have the script execute in their browser context, enabling session theft, credential harvesting, or further site-level compromise. …
