CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Welcart e-Commerce plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the Settlement Notification Parameters, affecting all versions up to 2.12.2. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when an administrator views the settlement error log, potentially compromising sensitive data and site integrity. 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 Settlement Notification Parameters in all versions up to, and including, 2.12.2 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 IPN endpoint accepts the 'rel' and 'option' parameters with no authentication, nonce validation, or signature verification, meaning any unauthenticated attacker can directly submit malicious payloads that are stored and later rendered in the administrator's settlement error log view.
