Technical details

The vulnerability is a stored or reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in Paymob for WooCommerce versions up to 4.1.10 that does not properly sanitize user-supplied input. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious payload and inject it into vulnerable parameters, which are then executed in the victim's browser without proper escaping or validation. The attack requires user interaction—such as clicking a malicious link or visiting a crafted page—to trigger the payload. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to steal authentication cookies, session tokens, or sensitive payment information. The vulnerability was patched in version 4.1.11 and users should update immediately to mitigate risk.
