The vulnerability was discovered by Krzysztof Zając and was publicly disclosed on December 13, 2021. This security issue affects the WordPress plugin woocommerce-currency-switcher (WPScan).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from improper sanitization and escaping of the custom_prices parameter in the plugin's functionality.

It is classified as CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (NVD).

Impact

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow attackers to execute malicious JavaScript code in victims' browsers. The attack requires user interaction and can potentially lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks. The CVSS scoring indicates low impact on both confidentiality and integrity, with no impact on availability (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been patched in version 1.3.7.3 of the WOOCS plugin. Site administrators are strongly advised to update to this version or later to mitigate the risk. The fix can be found in the WordPress plugin repository (WordPress Plugin).
