What is CVE-2024-0598?

The Kadence Blocks plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the contact form message settings, enabling authenticated attackers, holding editor-level access or higher, to inject malicious web scripts into pages. Consequently, these scripts execute when any user accesses the compromised page, significantly affecting multi-site installations and those prohibiting unfiltered HTML.

Affected Version(s)

Kadence Blocks — Page Builder Toolkit for Gutenberg Editor 0 <= 3.2.17
