CVE-2026-13203Live Composer <= 2.1.19 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'custom_id' Shortcode Attribute
Medium 6.4
In plain English
A medium-severity cross-site scripting in Live Composer – Free WordPress Website Builder from livecomposer. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 36% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Live Composer – Free WordPress Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'custom_id' shortcode attribute of the dslc_modules_section and dslc_modules_area shortcodes in versions up to, and including, 2.1.19. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the user-supplied attribute, which is concatenated into the HTML id="" attribute of the rendered <div> element in the dslc_modules_section_front() and dslc_modules_area_front() functions without esc_attr(). 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.
