Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2024-12117 impacting gambit stackable. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 6.4 (MEDIUM).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
The Stackable – Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'title' parameter of the Button block in all versions up to, and including, 3.13.11 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.
