Summary

The MStore API WordPress plugin before 4.21.0 does not perform authorization or purchase-ownership checks on its REST product-review creation route, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to create WooCommerce product reviews with an attacker-chosen reviewer name, email and star rating on stores configured to accept reviews only from verified owners.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes the ability to manipulate product reviews, potentially affecting store reputation and customer trust. Attackers can also create fake reviews to harm the seller.

Recommendation

Update the MStore API plugin to version 4.21.0 or later. Also, implement proper authorization and purchase-ownership verification on the review creation route.
