Bold Page Builder Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Bold Page Builder plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 5.5.7. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes in the bt_bb_accordion_item shortcode. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts into pages, which are executed when users view the affected page.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for stored cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user viewing the page.
