What is CVE-2026-15647?
CVE-2026-15647 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in berocket Brands for WooCommerce, published on 23 Jul 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Brands for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'br_brand_tooltip' Term Meta Field in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Because the payload is stored in term meta rather than post content, the WordPress unfiltered_html capability exception does not apply, meaning Shop Manager-level users — who normally lack unfiltered_html — can fully exploit this vulnerability.
Weakness: CWE-79
