Is Customer Reviews for WooCommerce safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Author Name in all versions up to, and including, 5.122.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This requires the image attachment feature (ivole_attach_image) to be enabled, which allows unauthenticated attackers to both submit a review with an entity-encoded malicious author name and upload an attached image via the publicly accessible wp_ajax_nopriv_cr_upload_local_images_frontend endpoint.

Unauthenticated Arbitrary Content Deletion in Customer Reviews for WooCommerce <= 5.120.0 versions.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.120.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete arbitrary attachments from the Media Library — including administrator-owned product images, logos, and documents — by injecting their IDs into a review that is later trashed and purged. Exploitation requires a public review-form link (a 13-hex formId distributed to customers via e-mail), which exposes the nonce needed to reach the handler without any WordPress account or session.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.118.0 does not sanitise and escape the content of customer reviews received via one of its endpoints, which could allow unauthenticated users to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the aggregated review form submission in versions up to and including 5.106.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied review comment text. The plugin accepts review submissions from unauthenticated users through the 'cr_local_forms_submit' AJAX action without sanitizing HTML content before storing it via wp_insert_comment(), and later renders this stored content on product pages through comment_text() without proper escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers with a valid review form URL (obtainable through review reminder emails sent to customers who placed orders) to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the affected product page.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.116.0 does not perform nonce or capability checks on several settings-related AJAX actions, allowing users with minimal permissions such as Subscribers to invoke administrative settings handlers, update Customer Reviews for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.116.0 options, and disclose store configuration.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.113.0 does not perform authentication, capability, or nonce checks on one of its media upload AJAX actions when the review media attachment feature is enabled, allowing unauthenticated users to upload media files (bounded to an image and video allowlist) to the Media Library and create attachment posts, leading to media library pollution and disk space exhaustion.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'color' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 5.113.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for 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.

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Customer Reviews for WooCommerce <= 5.110.1 versions.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘crsearch’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.101.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.103.0. This is due to the `create_review_permissions_check()` function comparing the user-supplied `key` parameter against the order's `ivole_secret_key` meta value using strict equality (`===`), without verifying that the stored key is non-empty. For orders where no review reminder email has been sent, the `ivole_secret_key` meta is not set, causing `get_meta()` to return an empty string. An attacker can supply `key: ""` to match this empty value and bypass the permission check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to submit, modify, and inject product reviews on any product — including products not associated with the referenced order — via the REST API endpoint `POST /ivole/v1/review`. Reviews are auto-approved by default since `ivole_enable_moderation` defaults to `"no"`.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'media[].href' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.97.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers (if 'Enable for Guests' is enabled) to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'displayName' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.93.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with customer-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. While it is possible to invoke the AJAX action without authentication, the attacker would need to know a valid form ID, which requires them to place an order. This vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers if guest checkout is enabled. However, the form ID still needs to be obtained through placing an order.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘author’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.80.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 's' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.47.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized email sending due to a missing capability check on the send_test_email() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.46.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to send arbitrary test emails.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'submit_review' function in all versions up to, and including, 5.38.12.
