Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
The Rate Star Review Vote – AJAX Reviews, Votes, Star Ratings plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.6.3
Description
The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'videowhisper reviews' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. 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, 1.6.3, consider disabling the 'videowhisper reviews' shortcode until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to pages that utilize this shortcode to minimize the risk of arbitrary web script execution. As a temporary workaround, ensure that all user-supplied attributes are properly sanitized and escaped to prevent malicious input. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
