CVE-2026-5711

The Post Blocks & Tools plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'sliderStyle' block attribute in the Posts Slider block in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Summary		(es) El plugin Post Blocks & Tools para WordPress es vulnerable a cross-site scripting almacenado a través del atributo de bloque 'sliderStyle' en el bloque Posts Slider en todas las versiones hasta la 1.3.0, inclusive, debido a una sanitización de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes en los atributos proporcionados por el usuario. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de autor y superior, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
