CVE-2023-6645 | Post Grid Combo – 36+ Gutenberg Blocks <= 2.2.64 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Cross-Site Scripting

The Post Grid Combo – 36+ Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the custom JS parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.64 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
