Author-level stored XSS via unsanitized style data
Published May 2, 2026 · Updated May 2, 2026
Stored XSS in MaxiBlocks Builder 2.1.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through the Style Card REST API. The post_maxi_blocks_sc_string method stores sc_styles without stripping tags, and enqueue_styles passes the value to wp_add_inline_style. Author-level access is required; injected scripts run wherever style-card styles load, including throughout the WordPress administration panel.
