Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: idealwebdesignlk
Product: Whole Enquiry Cart for WooCommerce

Description

The Whole Enquiry Cart for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘woowhole_success_msg’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-2838 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Whole Enquiry Cart for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress. It arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the ‘woowhole_success_msg’ parameter, allowing authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web scripts. The vulnerability specifically impacts multi-site WordPress installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4 (medium), with attack vector network, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity. No patch or official remediation is currently documented.

Potential Impact

An authenticated attacker with administrator privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages, potentially leading to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise. The vulnerability affects multi-site WordPress setups or those with unfiltered_html disabled. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider limiting multi-site installations or enabling unfiltered_html if appropriate. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
