CyberRota Analysis
This is a medium severity vulnerability with a CVSS score of 6.4. It affects WordPress. Exploitation may require the attacker to be authenticated.
Original NVD Description
The Avalon23 Products Filter for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'avalon23_qr' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.6. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied shortcode attributes (notably 'title' and 'fixed_link') which are concatenated directly into single-quoted HTML attributes by the AVALON23_HELPER::draw_html_item() helper without esc_attr() or any other encoding. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
