Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A WordPress pricing table plugin can let a logged-in contributor hide malicious script in content using its shortcode. The script runs when someone views the affected page. This requires contributor-level access or higher, so the main risk is sites with many or weakly controlled content users.
Executive priority
Treat as a moderate WordPress content-security issue. Prioritize sites allowing many contributors, external authors, or weak account controls. Patch, remove, or restrict the plugin before broader compromise paths develop.
Technical view
CVE-2024-13582 is stored XSS in the wdo_simple_pricing_table_free shortcode of Simple Pricing Tables For WPBakery Page Builder through version 1.0. The source attributes the flaw to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. CVSS 3.1 is 6.4, with low privileges required and low confidentiality/integrity impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites with this plugin installed and active at version 1.0 or earlier, especially where contributor-level accounts are untrusted, shared, or easily compromised.
Exploitation context
The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. Exploitation requires authenticated contributor-level access or higher and results in script execution when a user views injected content.
Researcher notes
The bundle describes all versions up to and including 1.0 as affected, while the affected metadata is sparse and lists version 0. No fixed version is identified in the provided sources, so remediation should follow current vendor guidance.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the affected plugin and version.
- Restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only.
- Check vendor, WordPress plugin, or Wordfence guidance for a fixed release.
- Disable or remove the plugin if no supported fix is available.
- Review pages using the affected shortcode for suspicious attributes.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin is installed and active on WordPress sites.
- Verify installed versions are not within the affected range.
- Review contributor and higher-privileged accounts for unnecessary access.
- Inspect content using the affected shortcode for unexpected script behavior.
- Check WordPress logs for recent edits by low-privileged authors.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
