Descriptions

The Product Catalog Mode For WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.0.3 does not properly authorize settings updates or escape settings values, leading to stored XSS by unauthenticated users.

El complemento Product Catalog Mode For WooCommerce de WordPress anterior a 5.0.3 no autoriza adecuadamente las actualizaciones de configuración ni escapa de los valores de configuración, lo que lleva a que usuarios no autenticados puedan llevar a cabo ataques XSS almacenados.

The Product Catalog Mode For WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'custom_hover_background_color' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
