Vendor/Project: arraytics
Product: WPCafe – Restaurant Menu, Online Food Ordering & Table Booking System

Description

The WPCafe – Online Food Ordering, Restaurant Menu, Delivery, and Reservations for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Reservation Form shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.24 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.

Technical Analysis

The WPCafe – Online Food Ordering, Restaurant Menu, Delivery, and Reservations for WooCommerce WordPress plugin suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the Reservation Form shortcode does not adequately sanitize or escape user-supplied attributes, enabling authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or above to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. This code executes in the context of users visiting the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 2.2.24.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who view the affected pages. This can lead to theft of user credentials, session tokens, or other sensitive information accessible via the browser context. The vulnerability does not impact availability but compromises confidentiality and integrity of user sessions and data within the affected WordPress environment.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the Reservation Form shortcode. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
