Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the StylistWP Extra Block Design, Style, CSS for ANY Gutenberg Blocks WordPress plugin affecting versions 0.2.6 and below. The vulnerability allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into unknowingly executing unwanted actions via maliciously crafted requests.
