Summary

The Site Reviews WordPress plugin prior to version 7.2.5 is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities due to improper sanitization and escaping of certain Review fields. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to inject malicious scripts, which can be executed in the context of any user viewing the infected review. Effective measures should be implemented to upgrade the plugin to the latest version to mitigate these security risks.
