Description
The OTP Login & Register Woocommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'fb-config' Setting in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. On multisite installations where administrators do not hold the unfiltered_html capability, this vulnerability can be leveraged to target the network super administrator.

AI Analysis

Impact

The OTP Login & Register Woocommerce plugin allows storage of user‑supplied data in the 'fb‑config' setting without proper sanitization or escaping. An authenticated user with administrator or higher privileges can enter malicious JavaScript into this field, which is then rendered in pages that display the configuration value. Any visitor to such a page will have the injected script executed in their browser, creating a risk of session hijacking, credential theft, or other client‑side attacks.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites that have an installation of the xootix OTP Login & Register Woocommerce plugin at version 2.7.3 or earlier are affected. The flaw exists in both single‑site and multisite WordPress deployments; administrators who can modify the 'fb‑config' setting may embed the script under the entire network when using the super‑administrator account.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 4.4 the vulnerability is rated moderate. The EPSS indicates a very low likelihood of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because only privileged administrators can inject the payload, the attack vector requires authenticated access through the plugin’s admin interface. Sites that tightly control admin accounts or use strong credential policies will have a lower risk, but a successful injection remains dangerous for all site visitors.
