Privilege escalation via unencoded shipping method names
Published Feb 3, 2026 · Updated Feb 3, 2026
Stored XSS in Pixel & Tonic Craft Commerce 5.0.0 through 5.5.1 allows remote authenticated users to run script in an administrator's browser. ShippingMethodsController::actionIndex passes the translated Shipping Method Name directly into table title data without HTML encoding, so stored markup becomes executable output. The attacker needs control-panel, Commerce, store-settings, and shipping-management permissions; privilege escalation also requires an administrator with an elevated session to load the shipping-methods page.
