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 an authenticated account with WooCommerce shop manager-level access or above on a site running the Product Addons for Woocommerce - Product Options with Custom Fields plugin (versions ≤ 3.1.8). The specific injection point is the 'fields[section][fields][row][col][type]' parameter used when configuring product add-on fields; the stored payload executes when any user subsequently accesses a page that renders the injected add-on data. The main limiting factor is the high privilege requirement (PR:H) - shop manager is a trusted WooCommerce role - so this is realistically an insider, abused-account, or post-compromise escalation vector rather than remote unauthenticated exploitation; the trigger mechanism beyond insufficient sanitization/output escaping of this parameter is not further detailed in the available sources. |
| Impact | This is a low-to-moderate priority issue rather than an urgent one, and the signals are largely consistent. The input CVSS base score is 4.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N): network vector but high attack complexity, high privileges required (shop manager-level or above), and only limited confidentiality/integrity impact with a scope change reflecting script execution in the victim's browser context. It is NOT in CISA KEV (no active exploitation confirmed), no EPSS score was supplied, and the references are a Wordfence advisory plus WordPress plugin source-code/changeset links - there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today Decision label is 'this_month', which aligns with a stored XSS gated behind a trusted, high-privilege WooCommerce role rather than an emergency. The chief mitigating factor is the PR:H requirement: an attacker must already hold shop manager or admin access, so this is primarily a privilege-boundary/insider or post-compromise concern, not a mass-exploitable internet-facing flaw. Missing data to note explicitly: no EPSS probability was provided, and no explicit fixed version is stated in the input (a trac changeset 3756829 is referenced, implying a patch, but the fixed release number is not given) - verify the fixed version with Acowebs/Wordfence before relying on an upgrade target. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a WooCommerce shop manager (or higher) account edits a product add-on configuration and injects a malicious script into the 'fields[section][fields][row][col][type]' parameter, which is stored without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. When another user - for example an administrator or a customer - later views the page rendering that add-on data, the stored script executes in their browser session. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the Product Addons for Woocommerce - Product Options with Custom Fields plugin (all versions up to and including 3.1.8) allows authenticated users with WooCommerce shop manager-level access or above to inject arbitrary script through the 'fields[section][fields][row][col][type]' parameter, which is then rendered without adequate escaping and executes for any user who later views a page containing the injected add-on data. The root cause is insufficient input sanitization combined with missing output escaping (CWE-79) across the plugin's field-handling code. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis, and the assessed risk is low-to-moderate because the PR:H prerequisite limits realistic abuse to trusted insiders, compromised shop-manager accounts, or post-compromise escalation rather than unauthenticated remote attack.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix activity is recorded in plugin changeset 3756829 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3756829/woo-custom-product-addons/trunk/templates/cart/cart-item-data.php), which modifies the cart item data template that renders the stored value; because no tagged release version is stated in the available data, the practical action is to update woo-custom-product-addons to the latest published release rather than staying on 3.1.8, and to confirm the installed version after updating. Where updating must be deferred, the exposure is bounded by the PR:H prerequisite, so the effective compensating controls are to review which accounts hold the WooCommerce shop manager or administrator role and remove it from users who do not need to configure product add-ons, and to audit existing add-on field configurations for unexpected values in the fields[section][fields][row][col][type] parameter; both measures reduce but do not eliminate risk, since a legitimate shop manager can still store a payload and any remaining privileged account can re-introduce one, and stored values already written before the audit remain dangerous until removed or the plugin is patched.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a WordPress/WooCommerce plugin that lets store operators define product add-on fields organized as sections, rows and columns; the vulnerable parameter sets the 'type' of an individual field within that structure (fields[section][fields][row][col][type]). CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) applies because the plugin neither sanitizes this value on input nor escapes it on output - the reported code references point to the cart item data template (templates/cart/cart-item-data.php line 14), the backend API handler (includes/backend/api.php line 237), helper functions (includes/helper.php line 284) and the process/cart handlers (includes/process/process.php line 262, includes/process/cart.php line 109), indicating the value is persisted through the admin/API path and re-emitted in cart and storefront rendering paths. The CVSS scope-changed metric (S:C) reflects that script executing in the stored context can act beyond the vulnerable plugin's own security scope, for example against WordPress users viewing the rendered page. The precise execution path beyond storage and later rendering of the injected parameter is not described in the available sources.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Product Addons for Woocommerce - Product Options with Custom Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'fields[section][fields][row][col][type]' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with shop manager-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
