Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated account with Contributor-level capabilities or higher (PR:L) on a WordPress site running Post and Page Builder by BoldGrid version 1.27.13 or earlier, with the Table Designer feature used to author content. The specific injection point is the 'data-label' attribute of the Table Designer, which is stored without sufficient input sanitization/output escaping. Exploitation is limited by the need for a pre-existing low-privilege account (not unauthenticated), so sites that restrict content authoring to trusted users are substantially less exposed; payload execution additionally depends on another user subsequently viewing the injected page.

Impact

This is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79) flaw rated CVSS 6.4 (Medium) with vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N - network-reachable, low complexity, but requiring Contributor-level authentication (PR:L). The scope change (S:C) and low confidentiality/integrity impact reflect that injected script executes in the browser of other users (including higher-privileged admins who view the poisoned page), which is the primary escalation path. No EPSS probability, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the provided data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The practical risk is tempered by the authentication prerequisite: an attacker must already hold a Contributor (or higher) account, making this most relevant to multi-author sites, membership sites, or environments with open/low-trust registration rather than to single-admin blogs. This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue - a privilege-boundary-crossing stored XSS that matters where untrusted users can author content, but not a drive-by unauthenticated RCE. A patch exists (version 1.27.14, per the WordPress plugin changeset reference), which should be the primary remediation driver.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers or obtains a Contributor-level account on a WordPress site running the BoldGrid Post and Page Builder plugin (≤1.27.13), then uses the Table Designer to inject a malicious script into the 'data-label' attribute, which is stored without adequate sanitization or output escaping. When an administrator or other user later views the page containing the crafted table, the script executes in their browser session, enabling session/cookie theft or admin-context actions. No public POC is referenced, and exploitation requires the attacker to already hold a posting-capable account.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 15, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in the BoldGrid 'Post and Page Builder - Visual Drag and Drop Editor' WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 1.27.13) lets an authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or higher plant arbitrary JavaScript inside the Table Designer's 'data-label' attribute, which is stored without adequate sanitization or output escaping and then executes in the browser of any user who later views the injected page. Because the payload is persistent and rendered in the site's origin, successful exploitation can lead to session theft, content tampering, or privilege escalation for the viewing user; CVSS 3.1 score is 6.4 (Medium) with vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing; vendor fix is available in version 1.27.14. Sites that restrict content authoring to trusted users are substantially less exposed.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade the Post and Page Builder by BoldGrid plugin to version 1.27.14 or later, which contains the sanitization/escaping fix for the Table Designer 'data-label' attribute (changeset https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&new=3674803%40post-and-page-builder%2Ftags%2F1.27.14&old=3653434%40post-and-page-builder%2Ftags%2F1.27.13; advisory https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/23049e7b-07ea-449c-963a-841a08659442?source=cve). If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by temporarily deactivating the plugin or restricting Table Designer usage, and by auditing and tightening role assignments so only fully trusted accounts hold Contributor or higher (note that Contributors are precisely the prerequisite capability, so this trade-off limits legitimate editorial workflows). Also search existing post content and revisions for injected data-label attributes carrying script or event-handler payloads (e.g. onmouseover, javascript: URIs) and clean them, since patching the plugin does not retroactively remove already-stored payloads; note that content sanitization plugins or a Content Security Policy can reduce execution likelihood but may break legitimate table rendering and are not substitutes for the vendor upgrade.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This is a persistent (stored) cross-site scripting flaw in the CWE-79 class, caused by insufficient neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation. The affected component is the Table Designer feature of the BoldGrid Post and Page Builder plugin for WordPress, specifically the 'data-label' attribute, which is written into the post content stored in WordPress's database and echoed back into the page markup without proper HTML-attribute escaping or input validation on save. Because the injected script is served from the victim site's own origin, it runs in the context of the viewing user's session and can bypass same-origin protections to read tokens, forge requests, or alter administrative content. The CVSS vector marks Scope as Changed (S:C) - the vulnerable component (the plugin's stored table markup) impacts resources beyond its own security authority, i.e. the wider WordPress site and its users - while Confidentiality and Integrity impacts are Low and Availability is None, and PR:L confirms the attacker must already hold a Contributor-level account. CPE data (cpe:2.3:a:boldgrid:post_and_page_builder_by_boldgrid_-_visual_drag_and_drop_editor:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) covers the whole unpatched version stream, and the plugin Trac changeset comparing tags 1.27.13 to 1.27.14 pinpoints the fix location.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Post and Page Builder by BoldGrid - Visual Drag and Drop Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Table Designer 'data-label' Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.27.13 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.
