Technical details

A persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the WOOF Products Filter for WooCommerce plugin (version 1.2.3 and potentially earlier). The vulnerability is located in the 'Design' tab of the plugin settings, specifically within text fields such as 'Text for block toggle' and 'Custom front css styles'. An authenticated attacker with high privileges (e.g., an administrator) can input malicious JavaScript payloads into these fields. Because the input is not properly sanitized before being stored and subsequently rendered on the frontend, the script executes in the context of any user visiting the shop pages. This can be used to hijack user sessions or perform unauthorized actions on the site.
