Summary
CVE-2023-5638 is a vulnerability in the Booster for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, affecting versions up to and including 7.1.2. The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts using the 'wcj_image' shortcode. This can lead to stored cross-site scripting, where the injected scripts execute whenever a user accesses an affected page.

To remediate this vulnerability, users should update the plugin to a fixed version or apply any available patches. The potential danger of this vulnerability is that it can be exploited by attackers to execute malicious code, compromising the security of affected WordPress websites and potentially stealing sensitive information or conducting further attacks.
