Description
The Post Rating and Review plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘class’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the Post Rating and Review WordPress plugin. It is triggered by the unchecked 'class' parameter in versions 1.3.4 and older. Authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript that is then stored and executed whenever a visitor loads a page containing the injected content. This maps to CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Post Rating and Review plugin from vendor bourgesloic, versions 1.3.4 or earlier.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates a moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% reflects a low likelihood of exploitation in the broader environment. Because the flaw requires authenticated access at the Contributor level, the threat is limited to sites that allow that role to edit ratings or review content. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and no publicly disclosed exploit has been reported, so the risk is primarily due to potential abuse by existing site collaborators.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Post Rating and Review plugin to the latest version (≥1.3.5) to remove the unsanitized class parameter handling.
  • If the latest plugin is unavailable, temporarily revoke Contributor permissions from users who do not need to modify ratings or reviews, thereby eliminating the attacker’s ability to trigger the stored XSS.
  • Continuously monitor the site for any injected scripts or anomalous user activity, and review the access logs for unusual Contributor actions.
