Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Toolset Blocks <= 1.6.26 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated XSS in the Toolset Blocks WordPress plugin (versions through 1.6.26) allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts into pages rendered by the plugin without any prior authentication. The CVSS vector's scope-change indicator (S:C) signals that injected code executes in the victim's browser context outside the vulnerable component itself, making administrator session hijacking a realistic secondary impact. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Based on CVSS PR:N, no authentication is required to inject or deliver the XSS payload, meaning any unauthenticated network-accessible user can attempt exploitation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.1 score reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring no authentication but demanding victim interaction (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker identifies a WordPress site running Toolset Blocks <= 1.6.26 and crafts a URL or form submission containing a JavaScript payload targeting a vulnerable block parameter or input field exposed by the plugin. The attacker then distributes the crafted link via phishing to a site administrator. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to update the Toolset Blocks plugin to a version above 1.6.26 via the WordPress admin dashboard or WP-CLI. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit all WordPress instances for Toolset Blocks versions 1.6.26 or earlier and immediately disable the plugin until vendor remediation is available. …
