Description
The Brizy – Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'brizy-compiled-sections' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.18 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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Brizy – Page Builder plugin for WordPress allows stored cross‑site scripting through the 'brizy-compiled-sections' post meta field. A contributor‑level or higher authenticated user can inject malicious scripts that are served when any visitor loads the affected page, potentially hijacking sessions, defacing content, or delivering phishing payloads. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and lack of output escaping in all versions up to 2.8.18.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that use the Brizy – Page Builder plugin, specifically all releases up to and including version 2.8.18. The plugin is supplied by themefusecom and is identified as Brizy – Page Builder.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies the issue as moderate risk. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating limited known exploitation. Because the attack requires authenticated contributor or higher privileges, an attacker must first acquire or abuse valid credentials. Once achieved, the malicious script will execute in the browser context of any user who views the compromised page, leading to defacement, credential theft or other XSS‑based attacks.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Brizy plugin to version 2.8.19 or later to remove the vulnerability.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, revoke contributor and higher roles from users who do not require content editing capability, limiting the number of accounts that can inject the payload.
  • Apply a Web Application Firewall or similar security layer to detect and block stored XSS payloads in the 'brizy-compiled-sections' field.
