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 Cost of Goods by PixelYourSite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value]' parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.2.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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 Cost of Goods by PixelYourSite WordPress plugin up to version 1.2.12 contains a stored XSS vulnerability in the csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value] parameter. Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious JavaScript that persists in the database and executes when users access affected pages, due to missing input sanitization on intake and output escaping on display.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to a version beyond 1.2.12 that implements proper sanitization (such as sanitize_text_field) for the cost_of_goods_value parameter and output escaping (such as esc_html or esc_attr) when rendering the data.

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. Verify Cost of Goods plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Cost of Goods' or 'Cost of Goods (COG)' plugin. Note the version number displayed below the plugin name.
    Affected if The plugin is installed and version is 1.2.12 or lower
  2. Check the exact installed version
    Access the plugin files via FTP or file manager, open /wp-content/plugins/cost-of-goods/cost-of-goods.php and locate the 'Version:' header in the plugin comments at the top of the file.
    Affected if Version is 1.2.12 or below (any version up to and including 1.2.12)
  3. Identify if the vulnerable CSV import form is accessible
    Navigate to the plugin settings page in WordPress admin (usually under WooCommerce > Cost of Goods or a dedicated Cost of Goods menu). Look for a CSV import or bulk cost entry form that accepts 'csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value]' input.
    Affected if The CSV import or bulk cost entry functionality is enabled and accessible
  4. Inspect the database for suspicious stored values
    Access the WordPress database via phpMyAdmin or command line. Query the postmeta or options tables for any entries containing script tags, javascript:, or onload/onerror attributes in fields that may store cost of goods data.
    Affected if Any stored XSS payloads (script tags, event handlers) are found in cost_of_goods related database fields

A user is affected if the Cost of Goods plugin is installed with version 1.2.12 or lower and the CSV import/bulk entry feature that uses the csvdata[0][cost_of_goods_value] parameter is in use or has been previously used.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update the plugin to a version beyond 1.2.12 that implements proper sanitization (such as sanitize_text_field) for the cost_of_goods_value parameter and output escaping (such as esc_html or esc_attr) when rendering the data.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Version 1.2.13 or later

  1. 1. Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard
  2. 2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
