What the vulnerability does
The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'media[].href' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.97.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers (if 'Enable for Guests' is enabled) to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin contains a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts into the site without user interaction. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 5.97.0. An attacker can inject code that executes in visitors' browsers, potentially stealing session tokens, redirecting users, or defacing content. The scope is changed, meaning the impact extends beyond the plugin itself to affect other site components and users.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that runs in visitors' browsers to steal data, redirect users, or deface the site.
Potential impact on your site
Visitors' browsers can be compromised; session tokens and credentials may be stolen; site reputation and user trust damaged.
