CVE-2025-12180
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The Qi Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.3. This is due to the plugin storing arbitrary CSS styles submitted via the `qi-blocks/v1/update-styles` REST API endpoint without proper sanitization in the `update_global_styles_callback()` function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary CSS, which can be used to perform actions such as hiding content, overlaying fake UI elements, or exfiltrating sensitive information via CSS injection techniques.

"value": "El plugin Qi Blocks para WordPress es vulnerable a la falta de autorización en todas las versiones hasta la 1.4.3, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el plugin almacena estilos CSS arbitrarios enviados a través del endpoint de la API REST 'qi-blocks/v1/update-styles' sin una sanitización adecuada en la función 'update_global_styles_callback()'. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Colaborador y superior, inyecten CSS arbitrario, que puede usarse para realizar acciones como ocultar contenido, superponer elementos de interfaz de usuario falsos o exfiltrar información sensible mediante técnicas de inyección CSS."
