Technical details
This is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency plugin versions up to 5.5.6. A subscriber-level user can inject unsanitized input that gets reflected in the HTTP response without proper encoding, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users' browsers. The vulnerability requires user interaction (the victim must visit a crafted URL or click a malicious link) but does not require administrative privileges to craft the attack payload. Successful exploitation enables account hijacking, session theft, or malware injection. The vulnerability was patched in version 5.5.7.
