Description
The Getwid – Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Google Maps block's 'customStyle' attribute in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.3. This is due to the use of eval() on user-controlled block content in the frontend JavaScript mapStyles() function. 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 resides in the Google Maps block of the Getwid Gutenberg Blocks plugin, where the plugin uses eval() on user‑controlled "customStyle" data in its frontend JavaScript. This flaw allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject malicious scripts that are stored and subsequently executed in any browser that views the affected page. The impact is an uncontrolled execution of arbitrary JavaScript, leading to potential data theft, account compromise, or defacement.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running jetmonsters:Getwid – Gutenberg Blocks plugin, versions up to and including 2.1.3. All earlier releases are also affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of < 1 % suggests a low exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no known large‑scale public exploits. Because the attack requires at least Contributor-level access, an authenticated attacker can easily inject the payload via the block editor. The flaw is stored, meaning any visitor to a page containing the malicious block will be impacted.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Getwid plugin to version 2.1.4 or later, which removes the eval() usage.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, remove existing Google Maps blocks that contain a customStyle attribute from all posts and pages, or disable the Google Maps block entirely so that the vulnerability cannot be leveraged.
  • As a temporary workaround, replace the eval() call in the mapStyles() function with a safe alternative such as JSON.parse on a known‑good data format, or sanitize the customStyle input to strip script tags before storing or rendering the block.
