CVE-2026-0894 PUBLISHED

Content Blocks (Custom Post Widget) <= 3.3.9 - Authenticated (Author+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via content_block Shortcode

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 13.01.2026 Published: 18.04.2026 Updated: 18.04.2026

The Content Blocks (Custom Post Widget) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's content_block shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied values consumed from user-created content blocks. 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.
