Descriptions

WooCommerce is an open-source e-commerce platform built on WordPress. A vulnerability introduced in WooCommerce 8.8 allows for cross-site scripting. A bad actor can manipulate a link to include malicious HTML & JavaScript content. While the content is not saved to the database, the links may be sent to victims for malicious purposes. The injected JavaScript could hijack content & data stored in the browser, including the session. The URL content is read through the `Sourcebuster.js` library and then inserted without proper sanitization to the classic checkout and registration forms. Versions 8.8.5 and 8.9.3 contain a patch for the issue. As a workaround, one may disable the Order Attribution feature.

WooCommerce es una plataforma de comercio electrónico de código abierto construida sobre WordPress. Una vulnerabilidad introducida en WooCommerce 8.8 permite cross-site scripting. Un mal actor puede manipular un enlace para incluir contenido HTML y JavaScript malicioso. Si bien el contenido no se guarda en la base de datos, los enlaces pueden enviarse a las víctimas con fines maliciosos. El JavaScript inyectado podría secuestrar el contenido y los datos almacenados en el navegador, incluida la sesión. El contenido de la URL se lee a través de la librería `Sourcebuster.js` y luego se inserta sin la sanitización adecuada en los formularios clásicos de pago y registro. Las versiones 8.8.5 y 8.9.3 contienen un parche para el problema. Como workaround, se puede desactivar la función de atribución de pedidos.

The WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via order attribution cookies in versions 8.8.0 to 8.8.4 and 8.9.0 to 8.9.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
