Stored XSS via unescaped Countdown block attributes
Published Apr 29, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in Jegstudio Gutenverse 2.2.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts via Countdown block attributes. The Countdown block renderer places user-supplied attributes into generated page markup without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. Contributor-level access is sufficient to store a payload that executes in the browser of any user who visits the affected page.
