Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Absolute Reviews plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.1.3

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Name field of a custom post criteria due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows 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.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 1.1.3, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the custom post criteria Name field to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict Contributor-level access and above to reduce the potential for arbitrary web script injection.
