Summary

The WowStore plugin for WordPress up to version 4.4.24 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'currentPostId' block attribute. Insufficient input sanitization and output escaping allow authenticated attackers with contributor access to inject arbitrary scripts that execute whenever a user visits an infected page.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can steal session cookies, redirect users to malicious sites, or perform other actions in the victim's context, compromising user security and privacy.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to the latest version. Restrict block editing access to trusted users only.

CVE-2026-17161Medium
The WowStore plugin for WordPress up to version 4.4.24 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'filterMobileText' block attribute. The `wp_kses_post` sanitization is ineffective because the payload is stored in a Gutenberg block comment as JSON, which is preserved. Authenticated attackers with contributor access can inject arbitrary scripts.

Original NVD description (English source)

The WowStore – Store Builder & Product Blocks for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'currentPostId' Block Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.24 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
