Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in impleCode Product Catalog Simple allows Stored XSS. This issue affects Product Catalog Simple: from n/a through 1.8.1.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in Product Catalog Simple WordPress plugin up to version 1.8.1 allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into product catalog pages. These scripts execute when other users view the affected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or defacement. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified, and EPSS score is low (0.05%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in the Product Catalog Simple WordPress plugin, which is used to create and manage product catalogs. The plugin fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before storing it in the database and later rendering it in web pages. This is a classic CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) flaw. The affected component is likely the product title, description, or custom fields that are saved and displayed without adequate escaping.
RemediationAI
Update Product Catalog Simple to version 1.8.2 or later, which contains the fix. The vendor advisory from Patchstack confirms the patch. As a workaround, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only, and consider using a web application firewall (WAF) to filter XSS payloads. Note that limiting user roles may impact site functionality if multiple contributors are needed.
