medium 4.8 CVE-2026-103234 · published 2026-10-22

Remote code execution in WP Ultimate Review (older than 2.4.5)

Affected: older than 2.4.5
Fixed in: 2.4.5
Access needed (per CVSS): No login needed
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by CISA ADP

Details from the advisory

The WP Ultimate Review WordPress plugin before 2.4.5 does not neutralise shortcodes in all of the review fields submitted through its public review form, which is available to unauthenticated visitors, allowing them to execute arbitrary shortcodes when the affected field is displayed, provided user reviews and that field's display are enabled.

medium 5.4 CVE-2026-103519 · published 2026-10-03

Remote code execution in WP Ultimate Review (2.4.3 and older)

Affected: 2.4.3 and older
Fixed in: 2.4.4 *
Access needed (per CVSS): Needs a low-level account (e.g. subscriber)
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence

Details from the advisory

The The WP Ultimate Review plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.3. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to execute arbitrary shortcodes. The bypass relies on WordPress's own strip_shortcodes() function unwrapping the [[tag]] double-bracket escape to a bare [tag] that survives wp_insert_post storage and fires when the publicly queryable xs_review post type is rendered through the_content.

Remote code execution in WP Ultimate Review (2.4.3 and older)

Affected: 2.4.3 and older
Fixed in: 2.4.4 *
Access needed (per CVSS): No login needed
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence

Details from the advisory

The The WP Ultimate Review plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.3. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. The nonce required to pass the only gate is emitted to unauthenticated visitors via the public review form, and submitted shortcode payloads are auto-published without admin approval by default, meaning exploitation requires no account and no privileged interaction.

Details from the advisory

Affected: older than 2.4.4
Fixed in: 2.4.4
Access needed (per CVSS): No login needed
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by CISA ADP

Details from the advisory

The WP Ultimate Review WordPress plugin before 2.4.4 does not validate that a submitted review rating is numeric before storing it and later using it in numeric operations when rendering reviews, allowing unauthenticated users to make the reviewed content fail with a fatal error for all visitors until the review is removed (a persistent denial of service), when user reviews are enabled.

Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by CISA ADP

Details from the advisory
