CVE-2026-1316: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in ivole Customer Reviews for WooCommerce
The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'media[].href' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.97.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in the 'media[].href' parameter. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages, contingent on the 'Enable for Guests' setting being active. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 5.97.0 and is classified under CWE-79. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.2, indicating a high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction needed, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability. There is no vendor advisory or patch link available at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of users visiting the affected pages, potentially resulting in theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability requires no authentication if guest reviews are enabled, increasing exposure. However, there are no known exploits in the wild currently reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider disabling the 'Enable for Guests' option to reduce exposure. Monitor official ivole and WordPress plugin channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
