Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Beaver Builder – WordPress Page Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.7.4.4

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the heading tag due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.7.4.4, update to a version higher than 2.7.4.4 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting contributor access and above to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, avoid using the heading tag in pages until the issue is resolved.
