Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-22588 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, classified as Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) under CWE-79, in the Scanventory WooCommerce Inventory Management plugin by intelligence_lab. This issue affects all versions of the Scanventory plugin up to and including 1.1.3, which is a WordPress plugin for inventory management in WooCommerce environments. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L).
Unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) can exploit this over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) by tricking users into interacting with malicious input, such as clicking a crafted link (UI:R). Successful exploitation changes scope (S:C), enabling arbitrary script execution in the victim's browser context, with low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L). This could allow theft of session data or limited site manipulation from the user's perspective.
