Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Beaver Builder – WordPress Page Builder plugin versions up to, and including, 2.8.3.6

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Button Group module due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows 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.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.8.3.6, update to a version later than 2.8.3.6 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Button Group module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access and above to authorized personnel only.
