Description
The Snow Monkey Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘data-slick' attribute in all versions up to, and including, 24.1.11 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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Snow Monkey Blocks plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw resulting from insufficient sanitization of the 'data-slick' attribute in all releases up to 24.1.11. An attacker with authenticated Contributor‑level access can inject arbitrary JavaScript that will execute in the context of any visitor who views an affected page. The CVE description does not specify particular downstream effects; however, because the script runs client‑side, it could potentially be used for hostile actions typical of stored XSS, such as defacement or credential theft, which are inferred and not explicitly documented in the official description.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability applies to the WordPress plugin Snow Monkey Blocks produced by inc2734. All plugin releases with a version number of 24.1.11 or lower are affected. The issue is confined to sites running any WordPress installation that has the vulnerable plugin active.

Risk and Exploitability

The calculated CVSS score of 6.4 points to moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, indicating no known widespread exploitation. The attack vector is authenticated; an attacker must log in to the WordPress site with at least Contributor privileges to inject the malicious script. Once injected, the script runs in the context of any visitor who views the affected page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Snow Monkey Blocks to the newest available release, which addresses the vulnerable handling of the data-slick attribute.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, sanitize or remove the data-slick attribute from all existing block content to prevent script injection.
  • Restrict Contributor‑level permissions to prevent unauthorised editing of block attributes, or disable block editing for contributors until the plugin is patched.
