CVE-2024-7846Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored XSS via unsanitized block attributes

Published Sep 23, 2024 · Updated Sep 23, 2024

Stored cross-site scripting in YITH WooCommerce Ajax Search before 2.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts via block attributes. The block parser accepts a crafted attribute name containing style and event-handler markup, then emits that markup into the saved div without adequate sanitization. Contributor access is required to save the crafted block, and the script executes when another user interacts with the affected page.
