AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Beaver Builder Page Builder plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in its Button Widget due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of user-supplied attributes. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages, which executes when other users access those pages. This vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.8.0.5. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact. No vendor advisory or patch links are provided, and the plugin is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the Button Widget. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions such as session hijacking or data manipulation. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity loss without affecting availability. There are no known active exploits reported.
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 disabling or limiting use of the Button Widget. Monitor for updates from the Beaver Builder vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
