Preview E-mails for WooCommerce is a simple plugin designed to give site owners the ability to preview the emails that are sent to customers via WooCommerce. Unfortunately, the plugin had a flaw that made it possible for attackers to inject malicious web scripts into the `digthis-woocommerce-preview-emails` page.

As part of the plugin’s functionality, there is a feature to search orders and to generate an email preview based upon a specific order, so that an administrator or shop manager can see exactly what a specific user sees for the emails that get sent out. Unfortunately, the search_orders parameter, used to conduct the search, was reflected to the page and had no input sanitization or escaping upon output which made it possible for users to supply arbitrary scripts that would execute in the browser when the page was accessed with the payload set in the search_orders parameter.

This meant that if an attacker could successfully convince a site administrator to click on a link, they could get malicious JavaScript to execute in that administrator’s browser. This script could be crafted to inject a new administrative user or even modify a plugin or theme file to include a backdoor which in turn would grant the attacker the ability to completely take over the site.
