Vulnerability CVE-2024-13708 PLUGIN booster-for-woocommerce HIGH

The Booster for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in versions 4.0.1 to 7.2.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

What to do about this

Patch promptly The consequence is significant even where an attacker needs a foothold first.

Fix it

Update Booster For Woocommerce to 7.2.5 or later.

That is the complete fix. Everything below is what protects you in the meantime.

Cannot update today? Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure blocks this class of attack before WordPress processes the request.

Inspect request parameters and bodies for injection, traversal and file-inclusion payloads, and refuse the request rather than logging it.

Not sure if you are affected?

Scan your site to see whether it runs Booster For Woocommerce, and at which version.

Free, no installation, no account. It reads what your site already publishes, then tells you which plugins carry known vulnerabilities and what to do about each one.

Am I affected by this vulnerability?

You are affected if your site runs Booster For Woocommerce. Versions below 7.2.5 are vulnerable; that release and later are not. No account is needed to exploit this, so a public site is reachable by anyone.

How do I fix it?

Update Booster For Woocommerce to version 7.2.5 or later. That is the complete fix. Until you can update, Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure contains this class of attack at the request layer.

What can an attacker actually do?

This is a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw. An attacker who exploits it can run script in a visitor's browser, stealing sessions or planting an administrator account.

WordPress security that blocks attacks before they land.
