Description
The Beaver Builder Plugin (Starter Version) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'no_results_message' node_preview Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.11.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Beaver Builder Plugin is vulnerable to a reflected Cross‑Site Scripting flaw caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the no_results_message node_preview parameter. Attackers may inject arbitrary scripts that execute when a user follows a crafted link. The flaw is unauthenticated and does not require any privileged access, but it can compromise client‑side security.

Affected Systems

The flaw exists in the Beaver Builder Plugin (Starter Version) from The Beaver Builder Team. All releases up to and including version 2.11.0.1 are affected; newer releases are not known to be vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates moderate severity. No EPSS score is published, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires only that a victim click a crafted link; no server‑side authentication is needed. The attack path is straightforward for an attacker who can lure a user to the malicious URL.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Beaver Builder Plugin to a version newer than 2.11.0.1, where the vulnerable node_preview handling is fixed.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, restrict or disable the no_results_message node_preview parameter or block its exposure via URL filtering.
  • Deploy a Web Application Firewall or enforce a Content Security Policy to block malicious script payloads and mitigate the XSS risk.
