Description
The WCFM Marketplace – Multivendor Marketplace for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Attachment 'post_title' in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Vendor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. An attacker can plant the payload by uploading a media attachment with a crafted title via the WordPress REST API (/wp-json/wp/v2/media), without ever invoking the AJAX endpoint themselves, as the unescaped title is later emitted inside DataTables JSON and inserted as innerHTML upon any privileged user loading the media dashboard.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a stored Cross‑Site Scripting flaw that allows an authenticated attacker with Vendor‑level or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the media dashboard through the attachment 'post_title' field. The unescaped title is later emitted inside DataTables JSON and inserted as innerHTML when a privileged user loads the media dashboard, causing the injected script to execute in the victim’s browser. This can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or phishing attempts against other privileged users. The weakness falls under CWE‑79, identifying insufficient output escaping.

Affected Systems

All installations of the WCFM Marketplace – Multivendor Marketplace for WooCommerce plugin with version numbers up to and including 3.7.3 are affected. The plugin, maintained by wclovers, is commonly used in WordPress sites that enable vendors to upload media. Any site that has permitted vendor‑level or higher roles to upload attachments via the WordPress REST API (/wp-json/wp/v2/media) is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a relatively low probability of exploitation at the current time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires valid credentials and Vendor or higher role access, and the attack vector is inferred to be the REST API used for media uploads: a crafted attachment title will execute for any other privileged user who accesses the media dashboard, providing a straightforward client‑side attack path for authenticated attackers.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the WCFM Marketplace plugin to the latest available version (≥ 3.7.4 if released).
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict media upload permissions for Vendor roles or remove the titles via the REST API.
  • Sanitize or escape the 'post_title' field before storage or display, ensuring any user‑provided title is rendered safely, thereby mitigating the stored XSS vector.
