GHSA-cv23-q6gh-xfrf: WooCommerce has a Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in checkout & registration forms

Impact

A vulnerability introduced in WooCommerce 8.8 allows for cross-site scripting. A bad actor can manipulate a link to include malicious HTML & JavaScript content. While the content is not saved to the database, the links may be sent to victims for malicious purposes. The injected JavaScript could hijack content & data stored in the browser, including the session. The URL content is read through the Sourcebuster.js library and then inserted without proper sanitization to the classic checkout and registration forms.
