CVE-2024-2733: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in boldthemes Bold Page Builder
The Bold Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's "Separator" element in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-2733 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Bold Page Builder plugin for WordPress, specifically in the Separator element. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of any user who accesses the compromised page. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 4.8.8. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.4 (medium), with attack vector network, low attack complexity, privileges required (low), no user interaction, unchanged scope, and low confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the Separator element. This can lead to unauthorized script execution in the browsers of users who visit the injected pages, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling further attacks within the context of the affected WordPress site. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the Separator element in the Bold Page Builder plugin. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
