Summary

The DesignSetGo plugin for WordPress is affected in all versions up to and including 2.11.0. Insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the tagName parameter (CWE-79) let an authenticated attacker with contributor access or higher store scripts in pages that run when a user opens them. Exploitation also requires an administrator to run the plugin's block-conversion migration, which the attacker cannot trigger alone.

Description from the CNA

The DesignSetGo plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'tagName' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.11.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. Successful exploitation requires an administrator to run the plugin's block-conversion migration ("Scan & Convert Blocks" during deactivation), which triggers the vulnerable build_group_block() function and promotes the dormant payload from a block delimiter comment into live post_content HTML. Successful exploitation additionally requires an action by an administrator — the attacker cannot trigger the vulnerability on their own.
