The Editorial Rating – Product Review & Rating System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'Link URL' Field in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The WordPress unfiltered html capability exemption does not apply here because the payload is stored in post meta ( wpas er options via update post meta) rather than in post content or post excerpt, meaning the restriction affects all administrators regardless of their unfiltered html status.
