# CVE-2026-57857: Flow Payment Plugin for WordPress Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via error\_message Parameter

- Severity: CVSS 4.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2026-07-18 · Updated: 2026-07-20

## Affected

- Flow Flow Payment: through 3.0.8

## Description

The Flow Payment plugin for WordPress (flow.cl) version 3.0.8 is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting on the WooCommerce checkout page. When the plugin handles an order cancellation, the error_message GET parameter is passed directly to wc_add_notice() in flowpayment-fl.php (lines 57-58) without input sanitization (for example sanitize_text_field()) or output escaping (for example esc_html()) before being rendered in the checkout notice HTML. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a URL containing a JavaScript payload in the error_message parameter (for example /checkout/?add-to-cart={product-id}&cancel_order=true&error_message={payload}); when a victim with an active WooCommerce checkout session follows the link, the payload executes in the victim's browser in the origin of the WordPress site.
