dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Booster for WooCommerce plugin is installedLog into WordPress admin panel and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins. Look for 'Booster for WooCommerce' or 'woocommerce-jetpack' in the list of active plugins.Affected if Plugin named 'Booster for WooCommerce' or 'woocommerce-jetpack' appears in the installed plugins list
-
Locate the installed plugin version numberIn the WordPress admin plugins list, click on the plugin name or hover over it to reveal the version information. Alternatively, check the plugin header in the main plugin file: /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-jetpack/woocommerce-jetpack.phpAffected if Version number is displayed and is readable
-
Compare installed version against affected rangeCompare the identified version number to the affected range: versions prior to 7.2.6 are vulnerable. For example, versions like 7.2.5, 7.2.0, 6.9.3, etc. all fall within the affected range.Affected if Installed version is lower than 7.2.6 (e.g., 7.2.5, 7.1.0, 6.9.3, etc.)
-
Confirm the plugin is actively processing user inputReview plugin settings in WooCommerce > Booster. The reflected XSS vulnerability exists in any feature that accepts user input and reflects it back without output encoding. Test by entering a simple test string like '<script>alert(1)</script>' in various Booster module input fields and checking if it executes or appears unescaped in the output.Affected if User-supplied input appears reflected in page output without HTML encoding or the test script tag renders as plain text rather than being encoded
User is affected if the Booster for WooCommerce plugin is installed with any version lower than 7.2.6 and has input fields that reflect user data unescaped in the page output.
