Contributor-level stored XSS via unescaped block metadata
Published Mar 5, 2026 · Updated Mar 5, 2026
Stored XSS in WPSoul Greenshift 12.8.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through crafted post content. The renderer decodes stored _gspb_post_css into style output and uses case-sensitive filtering for event-handler names in dynamicAttributes. Contributor-level access is sufficient, and the injected JavaScript executes when another user opens the affected page.
