Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-4672 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WordPress Simple Shopping Cart. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4672/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4672/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-4672","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4672/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-4672","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jx46-9ppx-mm7j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via shortcode attributes, potentially compromising admin accounts in WordPress Simple Shopping Cart.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wordpress_simple_paypal_shopping_cart","vendor":"tipsandtricks-hq"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The WordPress Simple Shopping Cart WordPress plugin before 4.6.2 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in the page, which could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks which could be used against high privilege users such as admins.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Simple Shopping Cart \u003c 4.6.2 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2022-4672","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Rate my Post – WP Rating System \u003c 3.3.9 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2022-4673"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"PixCodes \u003c 2.3.7 - Contributor+ Stored XSS in Shortcode","id":"CVE-2022-4671"},"products":["WordPress Simple Shopping Cart"],"published":"2023-01-23","related":[{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2705","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-05-13"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Simple PayPal Shopping Cart \u003c= 5.1.3 - Insecure Direct Object Reference","id":"CVE-2025-3874","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-01"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"WordPress Simple PayPal Shopping Cart \u003c= 5.1.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2025-3890","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-01"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"WordPress Simple PayPal Shopping Cart \u003c= 5.1.3 - Insecure Direct Object Reference via 'quantity'","id":"CVE-2025-3889","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-01"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in WordPress Simple Shopping Cart","id":"CVE-2023-1431","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-16"},{"cvss_score":4.4,"headline":"WordPress Simple Shopping Cart \u003c= 4.7.1 - Authenticated(Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-6497","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-02","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via shortcode attributes, potentially compromising admin accounts in WordPress Simple Shopping Cart.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4672/"}
