Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects the Customer Reviews for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before version 5.116.0. It is a missing authorization issue where the plugin fails to perform nonce or capability checks on settings-related AJAX actions. This allows users with minimal permissions, such as Subscribers, to invoke administrative settings handlers, update plugin options, and disclose store configuration.
