Description
The Rich Showcase for Google Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'reviews[].text' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.1.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The payload is delivered entirely through a Google review posted for the connected business and requires no WordPress account; the plugin's default daily cron auto-imports the malicious review text, and execution triggers for every visitor on DOMContentLoaded without any further user interaction.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Rich Showcase for Google Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to stored cross‑site scripting caused by insufficient sanitization of the 'reviews[].text' field. An attacker can inject malicious browser scripts that are executed automatically when any user loads a page containing a rendered review. This client‑side code execution can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, defacement, or phishing attacks on site visitors.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Widgetpack Rich Showcase for Google Reviews WordPress plugin; all releases through and including version 7.1.3 are impacted. No specific patch version is listed in the input, so any installation of these or earlier versions is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.4, indicating moderate severity, and the EPSS information is not available. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector requires an authenticated WordPress user with subscriber‑level or higher access to add a review; the plugin’s daily cron automatically imports such reviews, and the injected script executes on DOMContentLoaded for every visitor without further interaction. These conditions mean that while server‑side code execution is not possible, the risk of widespread client‑side impact remains substantial for sites that have not patched the plugin.
