Description
The Verified Reviews (Avis Vérifiés) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'moderation' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The authentication bypass is possible because ntav_check_data() uses loose != comparisons for signature verification, allowing a JSON body with boolean true values for idWebsite and sign to pass all checks on any configured installation.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the Verified Reviews (Avis Vérifiés) plugin for WordPress and allows unauthenticated attackers to store malicious web scripts via the "moderation" parameter. The plugin’s input validation fails because the ntav_check_data() function compares signature values loosely, enabling a JSON body with boolean true for idWebsite and sign to bypass authentication. When the stored script is rendered on a page, it executes in the victim’s browser. Based on the typical impact of stored XSS, attackers could potentially steal cookies, hijack sessions, or exfiltrate data; these actions are inferred from the description and not directly stated in the input.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites running the Verified Reviews (Avis Vérifiés) plugin version 2.4.6 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability affects every installation that utilizes the plugin’s moderation feature, regardless of other security configurations.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 indicates a high severity. The EPSS score is reported as < 1 %, implying that, at present, the likelihood of widespread exploitation is low, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is entirely unauthenticated: an attacker only needs to craft a JSON request to the moderation endpoint; no credentials are required. Because the flaw allows arbitrary script injection, exploitation is straightforward if the attacker can reach the endpoint through network access to the WordPress site.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Verified Reviews (Avis Vérifiés) plugin to a patched version; the CVE data indicates all releases up to 2.4.6 are affected, and a fix is available in a later release.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, disable or remove the "moderation" feature or block access to its endpoint to prevent malicious input.
  • Perform a review of existing review content to ensure no malicious scripts remain, and run a security scan to confirm that the vulnerability has been fully mitigated.
