Simple Shopping Cart vulnerability

What happened

The Simple Shopping Cart WordPress plugin before 5.2.6 does not escape some of its settings field values before outputting them on an admin settings page, allowing high-privilege users such as administrators to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, which is notably impactful on multisite installations where administrators do not have the unfiltered_html capability.

Affected versions

Simple Shopping Cart: before 5.2.6 (semver) Fixed: See vendor advisory.

Review the vendor advisory and exposure of the affected product to determine operational impact.
