Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-24574 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, enabling Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) as classified under CWE-79. It affects the Pepro Dev. Group PeproDev WooCommerce Receipt Uploader plugin (pepro-bacs-receipt-upload-for-woocommerce) for WordPress, impacting all versions from n/a through 2.6.9. The vulnerability was published on 2025-02-03.
The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, no required privileges, and user interaction needed. Remote attackers can exploit it by crafting malicious inputs reflected in web pages, tricking users into interacting via links or forms. This leads to arbitrary script execution in the victim's browser context, with low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability but changed scope.

SI-15 requires filtering of information outputs to prevent reflected XSS by neutralizing malicious inputs before they are rendered in web pages generated by the WooCommerce plugin.
SI-10 enforces validation of user inputs to the plugin, blocking malicious payloads that could be reflected as executable scripts in victim browsers.
SI-9 restricts the form and content of inputs to the receipt uploader, limiting the ability of attackers to inject XSS payloads via crafted links or forms.
