Stored XSS in Getwid Gutenberg Blocks for WordPress

Publication date: 2026-09-23

Last updated on: 2026-09-23

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Getwid – Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Google Maps block's 'customStyle' attribute in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.3. This is due to the use of eval() on user-controlled block content in the frontend JavaScript mapStyles() function. 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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw in the Getwid – Gutenberg Blocks WordPress plugin. It allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts via the Google Maps block's 'customStyle' attribute. The issue occurs because the plugin uses eval() on user-controlled content in the frontend JavaScript mapStyles() function.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, inspect WordPress sites using the Getwid plugin for versions up to 2.1.3. Check for unauthorized scripts in the Google Maps block's customStyle attribute. Review frontend JavaScript for eval() usage on user-controlled content.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could inject malicious scripts into your WordPress site, which would execute when users visit affected pages. This could lead to theft of cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive data. It may also allow attackers to perform actions on behalf of users or deface your website.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to user data, violating GDPR's data protection principles and HIPAA's security requirements. If exploited, it may result in data breaches, leading to potential fines or penalties for non-compliance with these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Getwid plugin to the latest version beyond 2.1.3. Remove or restrict Contributor-level access to untrusted users. Scan websites for injected scripts in the Google Maps block.
