Until a fix is available, users should consider disabling the plugin or restricting file upload capabilities to trusted users only to reduce exposure.
Description
The Checkout Files Upload for WooCommerce WordPress plugin versions up to and including 2.2.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts via file uploads due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The injected scripts execute when a user accesses the affected page, potentially compromising user interactions.
