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 | Exploitation requires (1) an authenticated account at Subscriber level or above - practical on WooCommerce stores that permit open customer registration, but excludes anonymous attackers; and (2) a specific non-default precondition stated in the description: the site owner must have previously completed the standard Freemius opt-in flow. Only once that opt-in is active can a Subscriber reach the vulnerable handler by loading /wp-admin/profile.php with the crafted 'purchased_plan' query parameters. The payload executes in the browser of any user who subsequently views the injected page, so impact depends on a privileged user (e.g., an administrator) visiting it. Installations that never completed the Freemius opt-in are not exploitable via this path, which meaningfully narrows the exposed population below the raw version-match count. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (Medium) is driven by a scope change (S:C) typical of stored XSS, but every other signal tempers the urgency. The vector requires authenticated access (PR:L), and the description confirms this is subscriber-level - a low bar on sites with open registration (common for WooCommerce stores), but still a non-zero prerequisite that excludes fully unauthenticated attackers. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. Critically, exploitation is gated on a configuration precondition stated in the description - the site owner must have previously completed the Freemius opt-in flow - which means not all installations are exploitable in their default state. The signals are therefore consistent rather than conflicting: a real, reportable stored-XSS flaw (reported by Wordfence, patched in 1.34.3) with limited blast radius (C:L/I:L, admin-area execution) and meaningful preconditions. Prioritize as a routine patch-when-convenient item for sites allowing self-registration, not an urgent out-of-band response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | On a WooCommerce store that allows customer self-registration and whose owner has completed the FiboSearch/Freemius opt-in, an attacker registers a free Subscriber account and loads /wp-admin/profile.php with a malicious 'purchased_plan' query parameter, injecting a script payload that is stored and reflected without sanitization. The payload then executes in the browser of any user who views the affected admin page, potentially including an administrator, enabling session or action hijacking in the admin context. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, and the network vector with low attack complexity (AV:N/AC:L) makes the request itself trivial to craft. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 16, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the FiboSearch - Ajax Search for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, in all versions up to and including 1.34.2, lets an authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access or above inject arbitrary JavaScript through the 'purchased_plan' parameter that later executes in the browser of any user viewing the affected admin page. Exploitation is gated by a non-default precondition: the site owner must have already completed the standard Freemius opt-in flow, after which a Subscriber can trigger the vulnerable handler simply by loading /wp-admin/profile.php with crafted query parameters. Scored CVSS 3.1 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), the issue is confirmed fixed in 1.34.3; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed as actively exploited.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade FiboSearch - Ajax Search for WooCommerce to version 1.34.3 or later, which is the tagged release immediately following 1.34.2 and is confirmed in the upstream changeset (tags/1.34.2 to tags/1.34.3); the full code diff is available at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&new=3734423%40ajax-search-for-woocommerce%2Ftags%2F1.34.3&old=3684506%40ajax-search-for-woocommerce%2Ftags%2F1.34.2, and the vendor advisory is at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/7db3475a-3a70-4776-8ea3-337192f88973?source=cve. If immediate upgrade is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to eliminate the precondition itself: sites that have not completed the Freemius opt-in flow are not reachable via the described /wp-admin/profile.php path, so deferring or avoiding that opt-in removes the exposure - with the trade-off that Freemius licensing, update, and telemetry features remain unavailable. Second, restrict who can hold even low-privilege accounts by disabling open customer registration on WooCommerce stores where Subscribers can be self-created, since Subscriber-level access is the only authentication barrier required (a meaningful operational trade-off for stores relying on guest self-registration). Third, deploy a WAF rule or virtual patch that blocks or sanitizes the 'purchased_plan' parameter on /wp-admin/profile.php requests, accepting that WAF coverage is bypass-prone and not a substitute for the upgrade. As a last resort, deactivate the plugin until patched. Sites should also review recently registered Subscriber accounts and audit admin-facing notice content for injected markup, since any stored payload persists until the affected data is removed. No vendor-released patch was identified for other plugins that may bundle the same Freemius SDK build; those should be reviewed separately.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is a CWE-79 improper neutralization of input during web page generation (stored/persistent XSS) rooted in the Freemius WordPress SDK bundled inside the plugin under vendor/freemius/wordpress-sdk/. The referenced source locations - class-freemius.php (L4548), fs-core-functions.php (L223), class-fs-admin-notice-manager.php (L421), templates/admin-notice.php (L110), fs-html-escaping-functions.php (L123), plus assets/js/admin.js and assets/js/tooltip.min.js - trace the 'purchased_plan' value from input handling through to admin-notice rendering, where insufficient sanitization on input and insufficient escaping on output allow attacker-controlled markup to persist in a page served to other users. The CVSS vector's scope-change flag (S:C) reflects that the injected script runs in the session of a user whose privileges differ from the injecting Subscriber, crossing an authorization boundary; low confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact is consistent with cookie/session and page-content tampering rather than server compromise. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:damian-gora:fibosearch_-_ajax_search_for_woocommerce:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, reported by Wordfence. Because the flaw lives in the shared Freemius SDK rather than plugin-specific code, other plugins bundling the same SDK build could theoretically carry the same pattern, though this advisory scopes only the FiboSearch plugin.

DescriptionCVE.org
The FiboSearch - Ajax Search for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'purchased_plan' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.34.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires that the site owner has previously completed the standard Freemius opt-in flow; once that condition is met, any Subscriber can reach the vulnerable handler simply by loading /wp-admin/profile.php with the requisite query parameters.
