CVE-2023-1839Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored XSS via unescaped field title

Published May 15, 2023 · Updated Jan 24, 2025

Stored XSS in PPOM for WooCommerce before 32.0.6 allows remote authenticated users to run script in administrators' browsers. The Text Input Title field accepts script markup into a saved PPOM field group, and the group edit page renders the stored title without output escaping. Administrative access is required to save the payload; it executes when another administrator opens the group, including where unfiltered_html is disabled.
