Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in ecoal95 EC Stars Rating allows Stored XSS. This issue affects EC Stars Rating: from n/a through 1.0.11.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in the EC Stars Rating WordPress plugin (versions ≤1.0.11) allows authenticated administrators to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other users who view the affected rating page. This could lead to session hijacking, defacement, or other browser-based attacks.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a type of CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation. The EC Stars Rating plugin, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:ecoal95:ec_stars_rating:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:* up to version 1.0.11, likely fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input (e.g., rating text, reviewer name) before displaying it on web pages, enabling stored XSS. Attackers with high privileges (administrator) can persist the payload in the database, which is then rendered without adequate output encoding for other users.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been confirmed at the time of analysis; the vulnerable version range is through 1.0.11. Administrators should consider disabling or removing the EC Stars Rating plugin until an update is available. As a compensating control, restrict administrative accounts to trusted users and consider temporarily blocking access to the plugin’s frontend rating pages if the feature is not business-critical, though this may impact site functionality.
