Contributor-level stored XSS via unescaped shortcode attributes
Published Jun 2, 2026 · Updated Jun 2, 2026
Stored XSS in zeshanb Easy Cart 1.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through add_to_cart attributes. The ectp_add_to_cart() function sanitizes the attributes but inserts them into double-quoted HTML attributes without escaping quote characters. Contributor-level access is sufficient to persist an event handler in a page, which executes in the browser of each user who visits that page.
