AI-Generated

The Create Block plugin for WordPress versions prior to 2.10.0 is vulnerable due to improper escaping of user-supplied text, which can lead to arbitrary PHP code execution by a multisite subsite administrator with specific permissions. This vulnerability poses a significant risk as it allows unauthorized code execution on the server, potentially compromising the entire site. WordPress site administrators, particularly those managing multisite environments, should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

The Create Block WordPress plugin before 2.10.0 does not correctly escape user-supplied text before writing it into a generated PHP pattern file, allowing a multisite subsite administrator (who holds the capability gating this action but is denied the capability that normally gates PHP file editing) to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server.
