CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Welcart e-Commerce plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting through the 'custom_order' parameter due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when an administrator views the compromised order, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
The Welcart e-Commerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'custom_order' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.12.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injected payload is delivered via the guest checkout form, requiring no authentication, and executes when an administrator views the affected order in the WordPress admin panel.
