Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA CSRF vulnerability in the Continue Shopping From Cart plugin (version <= 1.3) allows attackers to craft malicious requests that inject persistent JavaScript payloads (Stored XSS) into the cart page. When other users view the compromised cart, the injected scripts execute in their browsers, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement.
