Description
The Brandfolder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘id’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.19 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

Impact

The Brandfolder WordPress plugin is vulnerable to stored cross‑site scripting through the ‘id’ parameter in all releases up to 5.0.19. An authenticated user with Contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript that is persisted and executed whenever a page containing the injected payload is viewed by any user.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites using the Brandfolder plugin, versions 5.0.19 and earlier.

Risk and Exploitability

The vendor scores the vulnerability with a CVSS of 6.4, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS of less than 1 % suggests the current exploitation probability is low, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an authenticated Contributor‑level account, and the attacker can inject scripts via the id parameter that persist until removed, thereby targeting other users who visit the affected pages.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Brandfolder plugin to version 5.0.20 or later to remove the vulnerable code.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, limit or revoke Contributor‑level access to trusted individuals only to reduce the attack surface.
  • Remove or sanitize any content that may contain injected scripts from the affected pages and verify that no malicious payloads remain.
