words: ['woot-content-in-popup', 'woot-system', 'woot-table'] condition: or

• → Reflected XSS payload appears in the HTTP response body of an AJAX action endpoint; look for the XSS probe string 'alert(document.domain)' in response bodies from WooCommerce AJAX handlers. ↗
• → Detect exploitation attempts by matching response body for any of the plugin-specific CSS class strings: 'woot-content-in-popup', 'woot-system', or 'woot-table' combined with XSS payload indicators.
• → The vulnerable AJAX action is accessible to both unauthenticated and authenticated users — monitor all wp-admin/admin-ajax.php requests (not just authenticated sessions) for unsanitised parameter reflection. ↗
• → Confirmed exploitation responses return HTTP 200 with Content-Type text/html; filter on this combination alongside the woot-* body strings.

• · Vulnerability is only present in plugin versions before 1.0.5; ensure version fingerprinting is part of any detection or triage workflow. ↗
