Summary

The Reviews Sorted plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'space' parameter of the [reviews-slider] shortcode in all versions up to and including 2.4.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or above to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential session hijacking, data theft, or malware distribution across the WordPress site. The attack can affect all visitors of compromised pages, compromising data integrity and confidentiality.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Reviews Sorted plugin to the latest available version that includes security fixes. Additionally, restrict user privileges to the minimum and regularly audit content for suspicious scripts.
