What the vulnerability does
The Booster for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple shortcodes in versions up to, and including, 7.1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other site visitors, potentially compromising their sessions or stealing sensitive data. The vulnerability affects the entire site scope due to how the plugin processes and displays user-controlled input.
What an attacker can do
