At a glance
CVE-2023-25698 is a medium-severity Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in the Shoppable Images (Lookbook) for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.2.3. It carries a CVSS score of 5.4 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 1.2.4; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed February 2023, reported by Rio Darmawan.
Vulnerability Overview
The Shoppable Images plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.2.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on several functions used to manipulate images. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform image manipulation tasks such as deletion, and delete arbitrary posts, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
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')
Reaching this weakness in Shoppable Images (Lookbook) for WooCommerce <= 1.2.3 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 Shoppable Images (Lookbook) for WooCommerce the fix is 1.2.4: builds <= 1.2.3 are affected, anything from 1.2.4 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.2.4, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to Shoppable Images (Lookbook) for WooCommerce: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Shoppable Images (Lookbook) for WooCommerce 1.2.4 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
