Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Finale Lite – Sales Countdown Timer & Discount for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.19.0

Description: The issue is related to Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the countdown timer due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 2.19.0, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the countdown timer feature for users with Contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
