Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Reviews and Rating – Google Reviews plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.2

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's file upload feature due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Author-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.2, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the file upload feature to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the file upload feature for users with Author-level access and above until a patch is available.
