CVE-2024-9170: 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_meta shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 7.2.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with ShopManager-level access and above, 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 suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the wcj_product_meta shortcode. Authenticated users with elevated privileges (ShopManager or above) can inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the context of users visiting the affected pages. This vulnerability is present in all versions up to 7.2.3. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact without availability impact. No patch or official fix has been documented in the provided data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with ShopManager-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages generated by the plugin. This can lead to partial compromise of confidentiality and integrity of user data within the affected WordPress site. The vulnerability does not affect availability. There are no known active exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict ShopManager-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the wcj_product_meta shortcode to reduce exposure. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
