Stored XSS in Ocean Pro Demos and Ocean eComm Treasure Box WordPress Plugins

Publication date: 2026-10-09

Last updated on: 2026-10-09

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Ocean Pro Demos and Ocean eComm Treasure Box plugins for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'content' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.4, and 1.8.0, respectively, due to insufficient authorization, input sanitization, and output escaping in the Popup Builder's save_popup_content AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into a published Gutenberg popup that will execute whenever a user accesses a page on which the popup is configured to display. A valid premium license, the Popup Builder module, and at least one published Gutenberg popup configured for display are required.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw in the Ocean Pro Demos and Ocean eComm Treasure Box WordPress plugins. It allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts into Gutenberg popups via the 'content' parameter due to insufficient authorization, input sanitization, and output escaping. The scripts execute when users access pages with the infected popups.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves Stored Cross-Site Scripting in WordPress plugins. Detection requires checking plugin versions and reviewing popup content for malicious scripts. Inspect WordPress installations for Ocean Pro Demos versions up to 1.5.4 or Ocean eComm Treasure Box versions up to 1.8.0. Use commands like 'wp plugin list' to check versions and 'grep -r "save_popup_content" /path/to/wordpress/' to search for vulnerable code patterns.

Impact Analysis

Attackers could steal user sessions, redirect to malicious sites, or perform actions on behalf of users. It requires a premium license, Popup Builder module, and a published Gutenberg popup to exploit. The impact includes potential data theft, account compromise, or malware distribution through compromised popups.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or modification, violating GDPR's data protection principles and HIPAA's security requirements. If exploited, it may result in data breaches, triggering compliance violations, fines, or legal consequences for organizations handling sensitive user data.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Ocean Pro Demos plugin to version 1.5.5 or later and the Ocean eComm Treasure Box plugin to version 1.8.1 or later. Remove any untrusted popups or sanitize their content. Ensure Popup Builder module is disabled if not in use. Monitor for unusual activity in popup configurations.
