The Essential Blocks – Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks, Patterns & Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via HTML attributes in Slider and Post Carousel widgets in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
