CVE-2026-3694

Bold Page Builder <= 5.6.8 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via bt_bb_button Shortcode

Published May 14, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Bold Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'text' attribute of the bt_bb_button shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 5.6.8. This is 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.
