Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Booster for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.1.2

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the wcj image shortcode 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, 7.1.2, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping to prevent the injection of arbitrary web scripts. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the wcj image shortcode for users with contributor-level and above permissions until a patch is available.
