CVE-2024-8965: Absolute Reviews <= 1.1.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via Criteria Name
First published: Fri Sep 27 2024(Updated: )
The Absolute Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Name' field of a custom post criteria in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.3 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.
