CVE, Research URL: CVE-2025-3890
Home page URL: Security reports for WordPress Simple Shopping Cart
Application: WordPress Simple Shopping Cart
Date: May 01, 2025
Research Description: The WordPress Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wp_cart_button' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied 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.
Affected versions: max 5.1.4.
Status: vulnerable

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2025-3874
Home page URL: Security reports for WordPress Simple Shopping Cart
Application: WordPress Simple Shopping Cart
Date: May 01, 2025
Research Description: The WordPress Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.3 due to lack of randomization of a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access customer shopping carts and edit product links, add or delete products, and discover coupon codes.
Affected versions: max 5.1.4.
Status: vulnerable

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2025-3889
Home page URL: Security reports for WordPress Simple Shopping Cart
Application: WordPress Simple Shopping Cart
Date: May 01, 2025
Research Description: The WordPress Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.3 via the 'process_payment_data' due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the quantity of a product to a negative number, which subtracts the product cost from the total order cost. The attack will only work with Manual Checkout mode, as PayPal and Stripe will not process payments for a negative quantity.
Affected versions: max 5.1.4.
Status: vulnerable

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2025-3530
Home page URL: Security reports for WordPress Simple Shopping Cart
Application: WordPress Simple Shopping Cart
Date: Apr 23, 2025
Research Description: The WordPress Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to product price manipulation in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to a logic flaw involving the inconsistent use of parameters during the cart addition process. The plugin uses the parameter 'product_tmp_two' for computing a security hash against price tampering while using 'wspsc_product' to display the product, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to substitute details from a cheaper product and bypass payment for a more expensive item.
Affected versions: max 5.1.3.
Status: vulnerable

Research Description: The WordPress Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wp_cart_button' and 'wp_cart_display_product' shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied 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.
Affected versions: max 5.0.8.
Status: vulnerable

This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
Affected versions: max 4.7.2.

Application: WordPress Simple Shopping Cart
Date: Mar 16, 2023
Research Description: The WP Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to, and including, 4.6.3 due to the plugin saving shopping cart data exports in a publicly accessible location (/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/includes/admin/).
