What to do
- There is no fixed version yet. If you can live without Alpha Blocks for now, deactivate it and delete it until the developer ships a fix.
- If you must keep it, limit who can log in (remove unused accounts, especially low-level ones) and put a web application firewall in front of the site.
- Watch for an update: get an email when this page changes.
- If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan, or have us clean it: Emergency Cleanup, $499.
With WP-CLI: wp plugin get alpha-blocks --field=version shows what you run; wp plugin update alpha-blocks updates it.

Details from the advisory
The Alpha Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘alpha_block_css’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0 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.

Where this data comes from
- Version, last update, installs: wordpress.org/plugins/alpha-blocks (Plugins API), fetched 2026-11-04.
- Vulnerabilities: NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD), checked 2026-11-04. This product uses data from the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.
- Each record links to its CVE page and to the original advisory (Wordfence, Patchstack or WPScan) where there is one. We only list a CVE here when its references or its advisory name this exact plugin, so a few real issues may be missing; none should be about a different plugin. Spot an error? Email Daniel.
