Contributor-level stored XSS via unescaped heading tag
Published Aug 15, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in RadiusTheme Radius Blocks 2.2.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through subHeadingTagName. The advanced-heading layout uses the attacker-controlled value as an HTML tag name without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. Contributor-level access is required to store the payload; the script runs in each visitor's browser when the affected page loads.
