CVE-2021-24645Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored XSS via unescaped shortcode Product Code

Published Nov 8, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Stored XSS in Booking.com Product Helper before 1.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in visitors' browsers. The new-product-shortcode workflow stores the Product Code field without sanitizing or escaping it, then emits that value when a page renders the shortcode. Administrator-level access is required to plant the payload, and a visitor must view a page containing the affected shortcode for the script to run.
