WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The Welcart e-Commerce plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2025-10651) in versions up to and including 2.11.22. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on October 22, 2025 (NVD).

The vulnerability stems from insufficient sanitization of the order_mail field and a lack of escaping on output in the plugin's General Setting page. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 5.5 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The weakness is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) (NVD).

When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Editor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts through the General Setting page. These malicious scripts will execute when an administrator accesses the E-mail Setting page (NVD).

Welcart has addressed this security issue by releasing version 2.11.23, which includes security enhancements against XSS attacks. Users are advised to update to the latest version. The update is automatic for users running Welcart 2.11 or later, while those using version 2.10 or below need to manually update their installation (Welcart).
