Description
The Bold Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's bt_bb_raw_content shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

Executive Summary

The Bold Page Builder plugin for WordPress has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its bt_bb_raw_content shortcode in all versions up to and including 5.4.8.

This vulnerability exists because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied attributes, allowing attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious web scripts.

These injected scripts execute whenever any user accesses the affected page.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with contributor-level access or above can exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary scripts into pages.

These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the infected pages, potentially leading to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, or other malicious actions.

Because the vulnerability allows script execution without user interaction, it can compromise the security and integrity of the website and its users.
