Kk Star Ratings Rate Post Collect User Feedbacks
Monthly
Unauthenticated shortcode injection in the kk Star Ratings - Rate Post & Collect User Feedbacks WordPress plugin (all versions through 5.4.10.3) allows any remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary WordPress shortcodes by supplying a crafted payload to the plugin's AJAX handler. The flaw exists because the wp_ajax_kk-star-ratings action passes a user-controlled 'payload' parameter directly to do_shortcode() without allowlisting or sanitizing which shortcode tags are permitted. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and this CVE does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog; however, threat intelligence sources tag this as RCE, indicating that practical impact can escalate significantly depending on what shortcodes co-installed plugins register.
