Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in RexTheme Cart Lift cart-lift allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Cart Lift: from n/a through <= 3.1.57.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in the RexTheme Cart Lift WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.1.57) lets an attacker persist malicious JavaScript that executes in a victim's browser when the affected page is viewed. Because the CVSS scope is marked changed, injected script can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component, such as the WordPress admin session viewing abandoned-cart data. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but stored XSS in a customer-facing e-commerce recovery plugin is a realistic session-hijacking and admin-compromise vector.
Technical ContextAI
Cart Lift is a WooCommerce/WordPress abandoned-cart recovery plugin (CPE cpe:2.3:a:rextheme:cart_lift) that captures shopper cart and contact data and surfaces it in the WordPress admin and recovery workflows. The flaw is CWE-79, Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation, meaning attacker-supplied input is stored and later rendered into an HTML page without adequate output encoding or sanitization. When that stored value is echoed back - for example into an admin listing of captured/abandoned carts or into a recovery page - the embedded script runs in the context of whoever views it, inheriting their DOM and session.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version is identified in the provided data - the advisory only confirms all versions up to and including 3.1.57 are vulnerable - so administrators should monitor RexTheme/Patchstack (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/cart-lift/vulnerability/wordpress-cart-lift-plugin-3-1-57-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability) for a release above 3.1.57 and upgrade to it as soon as it is published. As compensating controls until a fix ships, restrict who can view the Cart Lift abandoned-cart/reporting screens to trusted admins only, deploy a Web Application Firewall (Patchstack's virtual patching or equivalent) to filter script payloads reaching the plugin's capture endpoints, and consider a Content-Security-Policy that disallows inline script to blunt execution - noting CSP can break legitimate inline scripts in some themes and should be tested in staging. If recovery workflows are not actively used, temporarily deactivating the plugin removes the exposure entirely at the cost of losing abandoned-cart recovery functionality.
