Summary

CVE-2024-1159 is a vulnerability found in the Bold Page Builder plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 4.8.0. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages using the plugin's shortcode(s), leading to stored cross-site scripting attacks.
