The Reviews and Rating - Google Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 5.10. This is due to the wp_display() shortcode handler, used by multiple shortcodes, allowing attacker-controlled html_tags values to define raw HTML tags and then embedding untrusted vicinity content inside those tags. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The malicious script persists server-side and executes in the browsers of any users who subsequently load the affected page, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions under the victim's identity. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to authenticate to the target WordPress site with at minimum a Contributor-level account (PR:L per CVSS) - this role allows post and page authorship but not administrative configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, score 6.4) rates this as network-exploitable with low attack complexity and Contributor-level privileges; the Scope:Changed metric reflects that the injected payload executes in a victim's browser context, extending impact beyond the plugin's own trust boundary. … 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 | The primary remediation is to update the Reviews and Rating - Google Reviews plugin to a version above 5.10 once a patched release is published by designextreme. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
