Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

The WP Ultimate Review WordPress plugin before version 2.4.4 has a vulnerability where it does not properly escape review overview settings. This allows users with an Author role or higher to inject malicious scripts into posts through stored cross-site scripting (XSS) when author reviews are enabled.

Detection Guidance

Check if the WP Ultimate Review plugin is installed and verify its version. If it is below 2.4.4, the system is vulnerable. Inspect posts where author reviews are enabled for unexpected scripts in review overview settings.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow attackers with low-level access to execute malicious scripts in a victim's browser when they view affected posts. This may lead to session hijacking, data theft, or unauthorized actions on the website.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could potentially impact compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by enabling stored XSS attacks. Malicious scripts injected via this flaw could steal user data or session tokens, violating data protection requirements under GDPR and compromising protected health information under HIPAA.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the WP Ultimate Review plugin to version 2.4.4 or later immediately. If updating is not possible, disable the plugin or restrict author roles from submitting reviews until patched.
