AI Analysis

Impact

The Bold Page Builder plugin for WordPress contains a stored Cross‑Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its Post Grid component. If an attacker with Author‑level or higher access injects malicious script code into a post grid entry, the code is stored in the database and executed whenever the affected page is viewed. This can lead to defacement, theft of session cookies, credential dumping, or execution of arbitrary client‑side actions on all users that load the page.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Bold Page Builder plugin, version 5.5.3 or earlier. The vulnerability exists in all releases of the plugin up to and including 5.5.3 and affects any installation where a user with Author or higher role can edit post grids.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies the issue as medium severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates that exploitation is currently considered unlikely to occur. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector requires an authenticated session; an attacker must log in with Author or greater privileges, create or edit a post grid entry with malicious payload, and allow end users to view the affected content. Once these conditions are satisfied, the stored payload will run in the browser context of all visitors to the page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Bold Page Builder to the latest version that resolves the stored XSS issue.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, revoke author or higher capabilities to edit post grid components or disable the plugin on affected sites until a patch is applied.
  • Apply a Web Application Firewall or use a security plugin that sanitises and escapes user‑supplied content for the post grid fields, mitigating the threat until the vendor releases a fix.
