CVE-2024-12817: Etsy Importer <= 1.4.2 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

First published: Sat Jan 25 2025(Updated: )

The Etsy Importer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'product_link' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
