Description
The Blocksy Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's blocksy_newsletter_subscribe shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.10 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 Blocksy Companion plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability triggered by the blocksy_newsletter_subscribe shortcode. Unsanitized and unescaped user‑supplied attributes allow an authenticated contributor‑level user to embed arbitrary JavaScript that will be executed on any page where the shortcode appears. The injected script runs in the context of site visitors, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, defacement, or other malicious actions consistent with XSS.

Affected Systems

All released versions of the Blocksy Companion WordPress plugin up to and including 2.1.10 are affected. The vendor is creativethemeshq, and the product is the Blocksy Companion plugin. Site administrators should therefore inspect their WordPress installations for these versions and consider upgrading to any later release.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates a medium severity, while the EPSS score of < 1 % shows that the likelihood of exploitation is low at present. The vulnerability requires authenticated access with contributor‑level privileges; unauthenticated users cannot exploit it. Though the probability is currently low, the potential impact of untrusted script execution means that a determined attacker could conduct a variety of damage scenarios, so acting before a broader exploitation is observed is prudent.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Blocksy Companion to version 2.1.11 or later, which removes the unsanitized shortcode attributes.

  • Audit existing content for injected malicious scripts and clean or delete any suspicious code to prevent accidental execution.
