AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Post Rating and Review WordPress plugin up to version 1.3.4. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape input in the 'class' parameter. Authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that will execute whenever any user views the affected page.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability allows attackers with Contributor-level access to inject malicious scripts into pages, which can execute in the browsers of users who visit those pages. This can lead to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions impacting site users and administrators.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Since the Post Rating and Review plugin version 1.3.4 and earlier are vulnerable, immediate mitigation steps include disabling or uninstalling the plugin until a patched version is released. As of June 23, 2025, the plugin has been temporarily closed and is no longer available for download pending a full security review. Avoid granting Contributor-level or higher access to untrusted users to reduce risk. Monitor official sources for updates or patches before re-enabling the plugin. [1]
