Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The ShopLentor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the woolentor_quickview_button shortcode's button_text attribute in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.5. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and missing output escaping on user-supplied shortcode 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.

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 confidence

The ShopLentor WordPress plugin up to version 3.3.5 contains a stored XSS vulnerability in the woolentor_quickview_button shortcode. The button_text attribute lacks proper input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated contributors+ to inject malicious JavaScript that executes when users view pages containing the shortcode.

MitigationUpgrade to version 3.3.6 or later. Until patched, restrict contributor-level access and audit existing pages for injected shortcodes.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm ShopLentor plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for ShopLentor (or WooLentor) in the list
    Affected if ShopLentor plugin is present in the plugins list
  2. Identify installed ShopLentor version
    In Plugins list, click the plugin name to view version details, or check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/woolentor-addons/ directory
    Affected if Installed version is 3.3.5 or lower (any version up to 3.3.5 is vulnerable)
  3. Search for woolentor_quickview_button shortcode usage
    Search WordPress posts/pages content for the shortcode [woolentor_quickview_button] using WP admin search or database query: SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_content LIKE '%woolentor_quickview_button%'
    Affected if The shortcode is present in any published content
  4. Inspect button_text attribute values
    Examine the shortcode usage in page content: look for button_text="..." and check if the value contains unescaped HTML or JavaScript (quotes, script tags, event handlers)
    Affected if button_text attribute contains raw user-controlled text with special characters like < > " or javascript:
  5. Check for contributor-level user accounts
    In WordPress admin, go to Users and review roles; contributors have limited editing access but can create shortcodes
    Affected if Any user with contributor role or higher (excluding admin) exists on the site who could have injected the malicious shortcode

User is affected if ShopLentor version is 3.3.5 or below AND the woolentor_quickview_button shortcode with a potentially malicious button_text attribute exists in any published content.
