MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The Cost of Goods by PixelYourSite plugin (version ≤1.2.12) must be installed and active on a WordPress site, and the endpoint that processes the 'csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value]' parameter must be reachable by the attacker (CVSS AV:N/PR:N/UI:N confirms network-reachable and no authentication required to inject). The principal LIMITING factor is that full impact (admin compromise via S:C) only materializes when a privileged user subsequently views the page containing the injected payload - so a WordPress site that has the plugin installed but where no admin ever loads the affected view would see no realized impact. Confidentiality and integrity impact are rated Low (C:L/I:L), reflecting the typical scope of browser-side script execution rather than direct server compromise. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N gives a 7.2 (High) score driven primarily by the changed scope (S:C) - XSS executing in another user's browser context - combined with no authentication or user-interaction requirement to PLANT the payload. However, real-world impact still depends on a privileged user later loading the injected page, which the CVSS UI:N covers for the injection step but not the trigger step; this is a common nuance for stored-XSS scoring. No EPSS, KEV, or SSVC data was provided, and no public POC reference appears in the inputs, so this should be triaged as a credible but not actively-exploited issue: high enough to patch promptly on any site running this plugin (especially WooCommerce stores) because admin-session theft would lead directly to full site compromise, but not an emergency 'drop everything' item compared to KEV-listed flaws. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker submits a crafted request to the plugin's CSV import handler containing a JavaScript payload in the 'csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value]' parameter, which is stored in the WordPress database without sanitization. When a store administrator later opens the cost-of-goods view in wp-admin, the payload executes in their authenticated session, allowing the attacker to steal admin cookies, create new administrator accounts, or pivot to full WordPress site compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the attack pattern is well-known and trivial to script. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 20, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the Cost of Goods by PixelYourSite WordPress plugin (versions ≤1.2.12) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject persistent JavaScript via the 'csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value]' parameter. Injected payloads execute in the browser of any user (including administrators) who later views the affected page, enabling session hijacking and admin takeover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version is identified in the provided data, so the primary action is to consult the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/6e8646f0-8bd1-4cfd-85bb-86a054ab297f?source=cve and the vendor page at https://www.pixelyoursite.com/plugins/woocommerce-cost-of-goods for any release after 1.2.12 and upgrade immediately when available. Until a fix is published, compensating controls include disabling or fully uninstalling the Cost of Goods by PixelYourSite plugin on production stores (trade-off: loss of cost-of-goods reporting in WooCommerce), restricting access to the plugin's CSV import endpoint via a WAF rule that blocks requests containing the 'csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value]' parameter with HTML/JavaScript metacharacters (trade-off: may break legitimate CSV uploads containing quoted commas or angle brackets), and enforcing strict Content-Security-Policy headers site-wide to limit the impact of any script execution (trade-off: may break inline scripts used by other plugins or themes).

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a WordPress plugin distributed by PixelYourSite that integrates with WooCommerce to track product cost-of-goods data, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:pixelyoursite:cost_of_goods_by_pixelyoursite. The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation): the plugin accepts CSV-style input through the 'csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value]' parameter and stores it without sufficient input sanitization, then renders it back to administrative or front-end pages without proper output escaping. Because the malicious content is persisted in the WordPress database, it becomes a stored XSS that fires whenever an authenticated user (typically a store admin reviewing cost data) loads the affected view.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Cost of Goods by PixelYourSite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value]' parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.2.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Executive ViewAI
The Cost of Goods by PixelYourSite WordPress plugin (versions ≤1.2.12) contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability enabling unauthenticated attackers to inject persistent malicious scripts that execute in administrator browsers, facilitating unauthorized admin account takeover and complete site compromise. Organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of credential theft and loss of administrative control with no vendor patch currently available. This represents a critical threat to WordPress site integrity, user data protection, and operational continuity.
If plugin removal is operationally infeasible: (1) Deploy web application firewall rules to block requests containing script payloads in the 'csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value]' parameter; (2) restrict WordPress administrator roles to isolated network access only; (3) implement real-time monitoring and alerting for XSS-pattern detection; (4) enforce Content Security Policy headers to mitigate script injection impact; (5) maintain enhanced audit logging of admin account activities. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; plugin disablement remains the most effective interim control.
