CVE-2025-1405: Product Catalog Simple <= 1.7.11 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via show_products Shortcode
First published: Fri Feb 28 2025(Updated: )
The Product Catalog Simple plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's show_products shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.11 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.
