Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Beaver Builder – WordPress Page Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.7.4.2

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the link url parameter in the audio widget, caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor access or above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.7.4.2, update to a version higher than 2.7.4.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the audio widget or disabling the link url parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
