beaverbuilder — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 21

Beaver Builder is a WordPress page builder plugin designed to facilitate visual website creation through drag-and-drop interfaces. Despite its utility, the software has been associated with twenty-one recorded Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), indicating a significant history of security flaws. These vulnerabilities predominantly involve remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and privilege escalation attacks, often stemming from insufficient input validation and insecure direct object references. Attackers have frequently exploited these weaknesses to gain unauthorized administrative access or inject malicious scripts into compromised sites. The high volume of disclosed CVEs suggests persistent challenges in maintaining robust code security standards within the plugin’s development lifecycle. While no single catastrophic incident has defined its public history, the cumulative risk profile remains elevated due to the severity and frequency of these exploitable defects, necessitating rigorous patching and security audits for administrators relying on this tool.
