Summary

The WooCommerce Customer Reviews plugin prior to version 5.17.0 contains a vulnerability that fails to properly validate and escape shortcode attributes before rendering them on a page or post. This oversight permits users with contributor-level access and higher to carry out Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, potentially compromising site security and user data. The exploitation of this flaw could lead to an attacker executing arbitrary scripts in the context of other users, making it crucial for users of the affected version to apply the necessary updates promptly.
