Description The Starred Review plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping related to the PHP SELF variable. An unauthenticated attacker could inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which would execute if a user is tricked into performing an action, such as clicking a link.
