CVE-2026-15441: CWE-74 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') in wcproducttable Product Table & List Builder For WooCommerce
The WC Product Table Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSS Injection in versions up to, and including, 5.6.0 via the 'laptop_scroll_offset' shortcode attribute exposed through the unauthenticated wcpt_ajax() AJAX handler. The handler is registered for wp_ajax_nopriv_wcpt_ajax, JSON-decodes attacker-supplied attributes, only allowlists key names (not values), applies a preg_replace that strips only [ ] < >, and passes the value through do_shortcode into wcpt_style__sticky_sidebar(), where it is interpolated verbatim into inline CSS ('top: {$top}px;' and 'max-height: calc(100vh - {$top}px);') with no numeric casting or CSS escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary CSS declarations and rules on pages rendering a product table with sticky sidebar enabled, which can be leveraged for data exfiltration (via attribute-selector + background-image URLs), UI redressing, and phishing that bypasses CSPs permitting inline styles.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-15441 describes a CSS Injection vulnerability in the WC Product Table Lite plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 5.6.0. The vulnerability arises because the 'laptop_scroll_offset' shortcode attribute is processed by an unauthenticated AJAX handler (wp_ajax_nopriv_wcpt_ajax) that JSON-decodes attacker-supplied attributes, only filters key names but not values, and applies a limited preg_replace that strips only certain characters ([ ] < >). The value is then passed through do_shortcode into a function that injects it verbatim into inline CSS properties without numeric casting or CSS escaping. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary CSS declarations and rules on pages with sticky sidebar enabled, potentially enabling data exfiltration via CSS attribute selectors and background-image URLs, UI redressing, and phishing that can bypass CSPs permitting inline styles.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary CSS into pages rendering the product table with sticky sidebar enabled. This can be leveraged for data exfiltration, UI redressing attacks, and phishing campaigns that bypass Content Security Policies allowing inline styles. There is no direct impact on confidentiality or availability, but integrity and user interface trust can be compromised.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch is currently documented. Until a patch is available, consider disabling the affected shortcode attribute or the AJAX handler if possible, or disabling the sticky sidebar feature to mitigate the attack surface.
