Vulnerability Overview

The WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting due to sanitization and escaping on an unspecific variable, that makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. This affects versions up to 3.5.0, and can be exploited by users with write-access API keys.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.5.2, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')) The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.
