Summary
The Photo Reviews for WooCommerce plugin by villatheme is affected in all versions up to and including 1.2.30. Insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the wcpr_image_upload_id parameter allow stored DOM-based script injection (CWE-79). An unauthenticated attacker can store a script in review comment meta using the upload nonce printed on every product review form, and the script runs for users who view the review on the frontend.

Description from the CNA
The Photo Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wcpr_image_upload_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.30 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The publicly-emitted `wcpr_image_upload` nonce printed on every product review form is the only gate, and no capability, authentication, or attachment ownership check is performed, allowing the payload to be stored in comment meta — which is not subject to `wp_kses` — by any unauthenticated visitor; the XSS fires once the review is visible on the frontend.
