CVE-2026-4658 Gutenberg Essential Blocks – Page Builder for Gutenberg Blocks & Patterns [essential-blocks] < 6.1.0 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') Medium 6.4 < 6.1.0 6.1.0 2026-05-01

CVE-2026-4658

The Essential Blocks – Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks, Patterns & Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the className, classHook, and blockId attributes in the Add to Cart block (essential-blocks/add-to-cart) in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.4. This is due to insufficient output escaping in the render_callback() function where these attributes are placed into class and data-id HTML attributes using raw sprintf() and implode() without esc_attr() escaping. While the outer wrapper div uses get_block_wrapper_attributes() which properly escapes, the inner divs do not. 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.
