Description
The Widgets for Google Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 13.2.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on Google Reviews data imported by the plugin. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute in the admin panel (and potentially on the frontend) whenever a user accesses imported reviews, granted they can add a malicious review to a Google Place that is connected to the vulnerable site.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Widgets for Google Reviews plugin for WordPress to version 13.2.5 or later, as this version includes a fix that improves sanitization of imported review texts by using WordPress's wp_kses_post() function to prevent stored cross-site scripting attacks. [2]

Executive Summary

The Widgets for Google Reviews plugin for WordPress has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in all versions up to and including 13.2.4. This occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape input and output of Google Reviews data it imports. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious web scripts into reviews on a connected Google Place, which will then execute in the WordPress admin panel and potentially on the frontend when users access those reviews.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary scripts within the WordPress admin panel and possibly on the frontend of the site. This can lead to unauthorized actions, data theft, session hijacking, or defacement of the website. Because the attacker can inject scripts that run with the privileges of the admin user, it poses a significant security risk to the website and its users.
