Stored script execution via unsanitized settings
Published Mar 15, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored XSS in Doofinder for WooCommerce 2.1.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through plugin settings. Administrator-controlled setting values are stored without sufficient input sanitization and later rendered without adequate output escaping, but public sources do not identify the exact setting or code locus. Exploitation requires Administrator privileges, a multisite installation or disabled unfiltered_html capability, and a victim to open the affected page; successful execution is confined to the victim's browser context.
