Overview

The Beaver Builder Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to 2.11.0.5. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to run any shortcode on a site that has a Beaver Builder page with a Sidebar module containing an attacker‑controllable widget. The vulnerability can lead to remote code execution or data exfiltration.

Description

The The Beaver Builder Page Builder – Drag and Drop Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.11.0.5. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. Exploitation requires the target site to have a Beaver Builder page containing the Sidebar module populated with a widget that displays attacker-controllable text, such as the core Recent Comments widget, with comment moderation disabled or the attacker's comment approved.

Impact

Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability are at risk. Site owners, administrators, and visitors could be impacted if attackers inject malicious shortcodes that execute arbitrary code or exfiltrate data.

Remediation

Upgrade Beaver Builder to version 2.11.0.6 or later. If an upgrade is not possible, disable the Sidebar module or remove widgets that allow user‑controlled text, or enable comment moderation. Additionally, restrict the do_shortcode function to trusted users via role checks.

Risk context

Severity is critical with CVSS 9.1 and EPSS 0.00531, indicating a high likelihood of exploitation. Immediate action is recommended.
