# LightBox Block WordPress plugin: stored XSS through version 1.2.0

The bPlugins LightBox Block plugin for WordPress does not neutralize input when generating pages, so it allows stored cross-site scripting. An attacker who can submit content that is later rendered can run script in another user's browser.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check whether the `lightbox-block` plugin is installed and its version is `1.2.0` or earlier, in the WordPress admin plugins list or `wp plugin get lightbox-block --field=version`
- unknown

## Fix

- Update `lightbox-block` to a version later than `1.2.0` once the vendor publishes one; the sources do not name a fixed version
- Until a fix is available, deactivate the plugin if the lightbox block is not needed
