Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Bricksable for Bricks Builder allows Stored XSS. This issue affects Bricksable for Bricks Builder: from n/a through 1.6.83.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Bricksable plugin for Bricks Builder. The vulnerability allows malicious JavaScript to be injected through user-supplied input and persisted on the affected system, executing when other users view the compromised content. Stored XSS is particularly dangerous as the malicious payload affects all users who access the infected page.

MitigationUpgrade Bricksable to a version beyond 1.6.83 which should contain proper input sanitization and output encoding to prevent XSS injection. Until a patch is available, restrict contributor/editor permissions and review existing content for injected scripts.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Bricksable plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and confirm Bricksable appears in the installed plugins list, or check the plugins directory for the bricksable folder
    Affected if Bricksable plugin is not installed on the WordPress site
  2. Identify installed Bricksable version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, click on the Bricksable plugin to view its details and note the version number displayed
    Affected if The installed version is 1.6.83 or lower (any version prior to the fix)
  3. Inspect Bricksable content for user-supplied input fields
    Review Bricksable elements used on pages/posts; check if any text input, form builder, or custom content elements accept and display user-generated content without sanitization
    Affected if The site uses Bricksable elements that accept and display user input (this is the injection vector)
  4. Search for suspicious script tags in Bricksable content
    Use WordPress database queries or a plugin auditor to search post content, custom post types, or Bricksable-specific storage tables for patterns like <script>, javascript:, onload=, onerror=, or other XSS payloads
    Affected if Any script tags or malicious JavaScript patterns are found stored in Bricksable-created content

A site is affected if Bricksable is installed with version 1.6.83 or lower and uses Bricksable elements that accept user input, creating a potential injection vector for stored XSS.
