CVE-2024-13591: Team Builder For WPBakery Page Builder(Formerly Visual Composer) <= 1.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
First published: Wed Feb 19 2025(Updated: )
The Team Builder For WPBakery Page Builder(Formerly Visual Composer) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'team-builder-vc' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for 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.
