Description
The Gutenverse plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Animated Text and Fun Fact blocks in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker with contributor level access or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript into Gutenverse Animated Text and Fun Fact blocks. The flaw arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, a classic example of CWE-79 Stored XSS. Because the payload is stored in the database, it is rendered unsanitized whenever a visitor loads the page, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or data theft.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the Jegstudio Gutenverse plugin, which powers WordPress full‑site‑editing block addons. Every release up to and including version 3.1.0 is vulnerable; any WordPress site using these block types with those plugin versions is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates a moderate severity risk, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation at this time. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authenticated access with contributor‑level roles or higher and involves creating or editing a block that includes malicious script code; the script is executed automatically in the browser of any visitor who views the affected page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Gutenverse plugin to a version newer than 3.1.0 or the latest available release.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, remove or disable the Animated Text and Fun Fact blocks for all contributors through the WordPress block editor or by disabling the block features via configuration.
  • Limit contributor and higher role permissions to prevent the addition of custom blocks that could carry injected scripts.
