CVE-2026-11591: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in trustindex Widgets for Google Reviews
The Widgets for Google Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 13.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-11591 describes a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Widgets for Google Reviews WordPress plugin up to version 13.3. Authenticated attackers with editor-level or higher privileges can inject arbitrary web scripts through the plugin's admin settings. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the affected pages. The vulnerability specifically impacts multisite WordPress installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled, due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, and required privileges.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with editor-level or higher permissions to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the context of site visitors, potentially leading to data theft, session hijacking, or other malicious actions. The impact is limited to multisite or restricted unfiltered_html environments and requires authenticated access with elevated privileges. There is no indication of availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict editor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider enabling unfiltered_html if appropriate. Monitor official trustindex advisories for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
