CVE-2023-45072Network attack vector

Admin stored XSS via unsanitized settings

Published Oct 18, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Order auto complete for WooCommerce through 1.2.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via admin settings. The plugin stores administrator-supplied values without sufficient input sanitization and later renders them without output escaping, allowing script execution when an injected settings page is viewed. Administrator-level access is required, and the consequence is script execution in another user's browser with confidentiality and integrity impact; exploitation is limited to affected WordPress configurations.
