What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution – Build Your Own Amazon, eBay, Etsy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Product SKU in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The malicious payload is delivered to site visitors — including unauthenticated users — when the store search widget inserts the unescaped AJAX response HTML into the DOM via jQuery's .html() method.
