# WordPress Recipe Card Blocks Lite: stored script injection through recipe steps

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-125948 (this .md is for agents)

The Recipe Card Blocks Lite WordPress plugin (up to and including 3.7.0) does not sanitize the steps text field of its recipe block. A logged-in Contributor can save a script in that field, and it runs in the browser of any visitor, including editors and administrators who preview or publish the post.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed plugin version in the WordPress admin under Plugins, or with `wp plugin get recipe-card-blocks-lite --field=version`
- Look for Recipe Card Blocks Lite at version `3.7.0` or earlier

## From the sources

The Recipe Card Blocks Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'steps[].text' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. Because wp_kses_post() preserves block-delimiter HTML comments verbatim on save, a Contributor can embed event-handler payloads inside the block's steps[].text attribute in a draft or pending post without the unfiltered_html capability, and the payload executes for any visitor — including privileged editors and administrators who preview or publish the post — as well as through the public print endpoint.
