0.4%likelihood of exploitation, next 30 days

38%of all CVEs are less likely

Readycheck to confirm it

The Studiocart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.9.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Impact

Attackers can execute scripts in the context of high privilege users, potentially leading to session hijacking or privilege escalation.

Fix

Update to the latest version beyond 2.9.0.

How to confirm it

Send: POST /wp-login.php
Positive when: status_code == 302 and contains(header, 'wordpress_logged_in')
Send: GET /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=sc_order&order_type=orders&format_err=1{{payload}}
Positive when: status_code == 200 and contains(body, "<script>alert(document.domain)</script>") and contains(body, "sc_product") && contains(body, "sc_order")
