Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Beaver Builder Plugin

CVE-2024-2925

Summary

The Beaver Builder Plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability, impacting all versions up to 2.8.0.5. This vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping within the plugin's Button Widget, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level access and higher to execute arbitrary web scripts on affected pages. When these scripts are injected, they execute whenever a user interacts with the compromised page, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure. The existing flaw emphasizes the importance of robust input validation to mitigate the risk associated with user-supplied content.
