CVE-2024-1054: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in pluggabl Booster for WooCommerce – PDF Invoices, Abandoned Cart, Variation Swatches & 100+ Tools
The Booster for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wcj_product_barcode' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 7.1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes like 'color'. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Booster for WooCommerce plugin contains a stored XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in the 'wcj_product_barcode' shortcode. This allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the 'color' attribute, which executes in the context of users viewing the injected pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 7.1.6. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of other users, potentially compromising user data confidentiality and integrity. There is no direct impact on availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the vulnerable shortcode if possible to reduce risk.
