CVE-2023-1839
Published: May 15, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The Product Addons & Fields for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 32.0.6 does not sanitize and escape some of its setting fields, which could allow high-privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example, in multisite setup).
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-1839 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
