Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-5324 is a high-severity improper neutralization of input during web page generation vulnerability in Brizy – Page Builder from Themefusecom, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected Brizy – Page Builder versions: 2.8.11 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.4% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Check which version of Brizy – Page Builder you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

The Brizy – Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.11 This is due to a combination of missing nonce verification for unauthenticated form submissions, insufficient handling of FileUpload fields when no file is uploaded, and the reversal of security encoding via html_entity_decode() followed by unescaped output in the admin view. The submit_form() function skips nonce verification for non-logged-in users (api.php:198). The handleFileTypeFields() function fails to overwrite user-supplied values when no file is attached. While htmlentities() is applied during storage, html_entity_decode() reverses this on display (form-entries.php:79). The form-data.php template outputs FileUpload values directly in href attributes without esc_url(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when an administrator views the form Leads page.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation

The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. Examples of libraries and frameworks that make it easier to generate properly encoded output include Microsoft's Anti-XSS library, the OWASP ESAPI Encoding module, and Apache Wicket.
  • Understand all the potential areas where untrusted inputs can enter your software: parameters or arguments, cookies, anything read from the network, environment variables, reverse DNS lookups, query results, request headers, URL components, e-mail, files, filenames, databases, and any external systems that provide data to the application. Remember that such inputs may be obtained indirectly through API calls.
  • For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.
