Impact
The vulnerability in Shopizer allows a logged‑in customer to submit product reviews that are attributed to another customer by including a customerId field in the review payload. This flaw permits an attacker with a valid account to forge review authorship and alter the perception of product ratings. The weakness is an authorization bypass (CWE‑639) because the system does not verify that the supplied customerId matches the authenticated user, undermining the integrity of user‑generated content.
Affected Systems
Shopizer e‑commerce platform, versions 3.2.5 and earlier, carry the affected code that accepts a customerId when creating a review. The bug exists in all releases prior to 3.2.6.
Risk and Exploitability
With a CVSS score of 5.3 the flaw is rated medium severity. An attacker only needs a legitimate Shopizer account and can construct a POST request to /api/v1/auth/products/{id}/reviews with any customerId, allowing abuse of review authorship. The EPSS score is below 1 %, indicating a very low exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The impact is primarily data integrity and potential reputation damage, not system compromise.
