Craft Commerce has Stored DOM XSS in Order Status Name (Reflects in "Recent Orders" Dashboard Widget)

The advisory, in context

Summary

A stored DOM XSS vulnerability exists in the "Recent Orders" dashboard widget. The Order Status Name is rendered via JavaScript string concatenation without proper escaping, allowing script execution when any admin visits the dashboard.

Users are recommended to update to the patched 5.5.2 release to mitigate the issue.

Proof of Concept

Required Permissions

Admin access (to edit/create Order Statuses)

Steps to Reproduce

Log in with an admin account
Navigate to Commerce → Settings → Order Statuses
Create new order status (e.g., "Pending")
Set the Name field to:

<img src=x onerror="alert('Order Statuses XSS')" hidden>

Save the order status
Go to Commerce Orders & make some orders with different statuses (e.g. "New" & "the malicious created status")
Go to the Dashboard (/admin/dashboard) & Add "Recent Orders" widget and pick the same 2 statuses for orders
Notice the XSS execution <img width="1491" height="568" alt="xss-execution-in-dashboard" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/84e8b121-30b9-4029-93be-e90009b6897e" />

Technical Details

File: vendor/craftcms/commerce/src/templates/_components/widgets/orders/recent/body.twig

Root Cause: value.name (the Order Status Name) is concatenated directly into the HTML string without sanitization. When JavaScript inserts this HTML into the DOM, any malicious tags/scripts in the name are executed.<img width="1780" height="858" alt="vulnerable-code" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b150ee9d-c072-4987-b506-81a29c23d84b" />

Mitigation

Use Craft.escapeHtml() in the callback:

callback: function(value) {
    return '<span class="commerceStatusLabel"><span class="status ' + Craft.escapeHtml(value.color) + '"></span>' + Craft.escapeHtml(value.name) + '</span>';
}
