2DescriptionCVE.org
The WPBakery Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'data' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.7.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The wp_kses_post sanitization applied during save does not neutralize the payload because the malicious script content is base64-encoded as plain alphanumeric text with no HTML tags to strip; the vc_raw_html shortcode template then decodes and echoes this content unescaped at render time.
AnalysisAI
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in WPBakery Page Builder for WordPress (versions through 8.7.4) allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access to persistently inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages viewed by any site visitor. The vulnerability stems from a sanitization bypass: the wp_kses_post function strips HTML tags but cannot neutralize base64-encoded payloads - which appear as plain alphanumeric text - and the vc_raw_html shortcode template subsequently decodes and echoes that content without escaping at render time. …
