What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Custom WooCommerce Checkout Fields Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the save_wcfe_options function in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

These scripts execute in the browsers of other site visitors and administrators, potentially stealing session tokens or performing unauthorized actions on their behalf.
