Until a fix is available, administrators should exercise caution when previewing testimonials and consider restricting access to the preview functionality or implementing additional input validation controls if possible.

Description

The Strong Testimonials WordPress plugin up to version 3.3.16 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the 'star_rating' parameter. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when an administrator previews a pending testimonial, a normal part of the plugin's moderation workflow.
