AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-13463 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Bold Page Builder WordPress plugin, specifically in the Post Grid component. The flaw allows authenticated users with Author-level privileges or higher to inject malicious scripts due to improper input neutralization during web page generation. These scripts execute in the context of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 5.5.3. No patch or official fix details are currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Author-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of user session data or manipulation of page content. Availability is not impacted. The medium CVSS score reflects these impacts and the requirement for authenticated access.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the Post Grid component. Monitor vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
