What the vulnerability does
The CBX 5 Star Rating & Review plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'page' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

CBX 5 Star Rating & Review versions up to 1.0.7 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the site. The vulnerability requires user interaction—typically clicking a malicious link—and can affect other users viewing the compromised content. This could lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that executes in other users' browsers when they view affected pages.
Potential impact on your site
