What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Store Hours for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.20. 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.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

Store Hours for WooCommerce versions up to 4.3.20 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts. An attacker can craft a malicious link that, when clicked by a site visitor, executes JavaScript in the victim's browser. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or malware distribution. The vulnerability affects the plugin's handling of user input without proper sanitization.
