Sep 24, 2026Spectra Legacy – Gutenberg Blocks: Sensitive Information ExposureCVE-2026-16302 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.3
The Spectra Legacy – Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.20.0 via the editor_assets function, which exposes the uag_insta_linked_accounts option through the uagb_blocks_info object without a capability check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract sensitive data including raw Instagram Graph API access tokens configured by an administrator. Exploitation requires the Spectra Pro plugin to be active with a linked Instagram account.

Aug 1, 2026Spectra Legacy: Does not validate or escape several block style attributes before using them to build the CSS it outputs on the front endCVE-2026-10827 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WPScanLow 3.5
The Spectra Legacy WordPress plugin before 2.20.0 does not validate or escape several block style attributes before using them to build the CSS it outputs on the front end, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to inject arbitrary CSS into the pages that render the affected block. The injected styles are served to anonymous visitors of those pages and can force external resource loads, deface/redress the page, or exfiltrate data via CSS attribute selectors. JavaScript execution is not possible at this role (the script-tag breakout is removed by KSES), so the impact is limited to CSS injection.

May 30, 2026Spectra Gutenberg Blocks – Website Builder for the Block Editor: Remote Code ExecutionCVE-2026-7465 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.8
The Spectra Gutenberg Blocks – Website Builder for the Block Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.19.25. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to execute code on the server. Exploitation requires a two-block payload embedded in post content: the first block registers a fake uagb/-prefixed block type with an attacker-specified render_callback, and the second block of the same fake type triggers invocation of that callback via call_user_func() during sequential block rendering in the same page request.

Feb 3, 2026Spectra Gutenberg Blocks – Website Builder for the Block Editor: Information DisclosureCVE-2026-0950 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 5.3
The Spectra Gutenberg Blocks – Website Builder for the Block Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 2.19.17. This is due to the plugin failing to check `post_password_required()` before rendering post excerpts in the `render_excerpt()` function and the `uagb_get_excerpt()` helper function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read excerpts of password-protected posts by simply viewing any page that contains a Spectra Post Grid, Post Masonry, Post Carousel, or Post Timeline block.
