- Severity: CVSS 6.1 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial

## Affected

- jegstudio Gutenverse – WordPress Blocks, Page Builder & Site Editor: through 3.4.6

## Description

The Gutenverse plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 's' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Specifically, the `render_content()` method in `class-search-result-title.php` outputs the value of `get_query_var('s')` directly into the page HTML without applying `esc_html()` or any other escaping function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages via a crafted URL that execute if a user clicks the link, provided the `gutenverse/search-result-title` block is present on the site's search results template.
