Stored script execution via unsanitized shortcode attributes
Published Mar 7, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in Booster for WooCommerce 7.1.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through shortcode attributes. Shortcode handlers accept contributor-controlled attributes without sufficient input sanitization or output escaping, storing values that are emitted as executable page content. A contributor-level account is required to inject the payload, and the script runs when a visitor opens the affected page, enabling browser-context data access or page modification.
