Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Booster for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.1.0

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple shortcodes due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows 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.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 7.1.0, update to a version later than 7.1.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the shortcodes that allow user-supplied attributes to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, limiting contributor-level and above permissions can help reduce the attack surface until a patch is applied.
