The Blocksy theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.0.33 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.

Remediation & mitigations
- Update to version 2.0.34, or a newer patched version
- Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
