Descriptions

The Genesis Blocks WordPress plugin before 3.1.3 does not properly escape data input provided to some of its blocks, allowing using with at least contributor privileges to conduct Stored XSS attacks.

El complemento Genesis Blocks de WordPress anterior a 3.1.3 no escapa adecuadamente a la entrada de datos proporcionada a algunos de sus bloques, lo que permite su uso con al menos privilegios de colaborador para realizar ataques XSS almacenados.

The Genesis Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the postTitleTag in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
