Summary

The WooCommerce Cart Count Shortcode plugin prior to version 1.1.0 has a security flaw where it does not properly validate and escape shortcode attributes before rendering them on a page or post. This oversight allows authenticated users, specifically those with contributor roles and higher, to inject malicious scripts into the website. When executed, the injected script can lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, potentially compromising the integrity of the site and user data.

Affected Version(s)

WooCommerce Cart Count Shortcode 0 < 1.1.0

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
