CVE-2024-2735: 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 'Price List' 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-2024-2735 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Bold Page Builder WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 4.8.8. The issue arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'Price List' element, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of any user viewing the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting a medium severity level with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the 'Price List' element. This can lead to unauthorized script execution in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or performing actions on behalf of users. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the 'Price List' element if feasible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or security advisories for a patch or official mitigation.
