What the vulnerability does
The Brands for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'width' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Brands for WooCommerce versions 3.8.8 and earlier contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other site visitors, including administrators. The vulnerability affects the entire site scope due to how the plugin processes and displays user-controlled data.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers, potentially stealing session tokens or admin credentials.
Potential impact on your site
Attackers with basic user accounts can compromise admin sessions and take control of your WooCommerce store.
Conditions required to exploit
