Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The Breakdance plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'fields' parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.7.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in the Breakdance WordPress page-builder plugin (versions through 2.7.1) lets unauthenticated attackers inject persistent JavaScript through the 'fields' parameter, which then runs in the browser of any user who views the affected page. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2, elevated by a scope change (S:C) because the payload executes in visitors' browser sessions rather than the server context. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; Wordfence discovered and reported it.
Technical ContextAI
Breakdance is a commercial visual page-builder plugin for WordPress that renders site content and dynamic form/element fields. The vulnerability is a classic CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) issue: attacker-controlled input passed via the 'fields' parameter is neither sanitized on input nor escaped on output, so raw HTML/JavaScript is stored and later reflected verbatim into rendered pages. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:breakdance:breakdance:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all builds up to and including 2.7.1. Because the payload is stored server-side and executed in every visitor's browser, this is a persistent (stored) XSS rather than a reflected one, giving it broader reach.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 2.7.2 - upgrade the Breakdance plugin to version 2.7.2 or later, per the vendor security update at https://breakdance.com/breakdance-2-7-2-security-update/. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, deploy a WAF rule (for example via Wordfence, per https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/64f07bca-5d04-4b28-b775-f47ed692575e?source=cve) to filter script-bearing input to the 'fields' parameter, and restrict or audit access to pages and endpoints that accept Breakdance field input; note that aggressive WAF filtering of the 'fields' parameter can break legitimate rich content and should be tested. Also review existing pages for already-injected payloads, since stored XSS persists after patching, and rotate/review any administrator sessions if injection is suspected.
