CVE-2025-7496: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wpclever WPC Smart Compare for WooCommerce
The WPC Smart Compare for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via DOM elements in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-7496 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the WPC Smart Compare for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress. The flaw exists due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and escaping of DOM elements. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level privileges or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when users access the injected pages. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 6.4.7. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the context of affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity loss, such as theft of user session data or manipulation of page content. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability does not affect unauthenticated users and requires at least Contributor-level access.
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 and higher access to trusted users only. Monitor plugin updates from wpclever for a security patch addressing this vulnerability. Avoid exposing affected pages to untrusted users where possible.
