Vulnerability Overview
The Biteship plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'biteship_error' and 'biteship_message' parameters in versions up to, and including, 2.2.24 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. CVE-2023-6278 appears to be a potential duplicate of this.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site.
CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Plugin Pengiriman WooCommerce Kurir Reguler, Instan, Kargo <= 2.2.24 carries this weakness at biteship_error, and reaching it takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Cross-site scripting happens when input from a request is written into a page without being escaped for the context it lands in, so the browser parses attacker-supplied text as markup or script.
Injected script runs with the privileges of whoever views the affected page, which is how these flaws turn into administrator session theft, silent account creation or persistent backdoors in page content. For Plugin Pengiriman WooCommerce Kurir Reguler, Instan, Kargo the fix is 2.2.25: builds <= 2.2.24 are affected, anything from 2.2.25 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 2.2.25, or a newer patched version
