CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress versions prior to 5.2.6 is vulnerable due to improper escaping of settings field values on the admin settings page, enabling high-privilege users to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This vulnerability poses a significant risk, particularly in multisite environments where administrators lack the unfiltered_html capability, potentially compromising site integrity and user data. WordPress administrators and security teams managing affected installations should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
Original NVD Description
The Simple Shopping Cart WordPress plugin before 5.2.6 does not escape some of its settings field values before outputting them on an admin settings page, allowing high-privilege users such as administrators to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, which is notably impactful on multisite installations where administrators do not have the unfiltered_html capability.
