AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
Nonce is exposed to anonymous users and reviews auto-publish, so PR:N/UI:N/AC:L over the network; impact limited to shortcode execution, hence C:L/I:L and A:N.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The The WP Ultimate Review plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.3. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. The nonce required to pass the only gate is emitted to unauthenticated visitors via the public review form, and submitted shortcode payloads are auto-published without admin approval by default, meaning exploitation requires no account and no privileged interaction.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote attackers can execute arbitrary registered WordPress shortcodes through the WP Ultimate Review plugin (versions up to and including 2.4.3), because the plugin passes an unvalidated value to do_shortcode and the only nonce gate is emitted to anonymous visitors via the public review form, while submitted reviews auto-publish without administrator approval by default. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5 (Medium) with low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact; the real-world severity depends on which shortcodes exist on the target site. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No special conditions beyond default behavior - the vulnerable code path calls do_shortcode on an unvalidated value, and the only gate (a nonce) is emitted to unauthenticated visitors via the public review form, while submitted reviews auto-publish without admin approval by default. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The input CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, base 6.5 MEDIUM) and the description are fully consistent: a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw that needs no authentication and no user interaction, because the gating nonce is deliberately emitted to unauthenticated visitors through the public review form and submitted content auto-publishes without admin approval by default. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upstream fix available (PR/commit); released patched version not independently confirmed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
