Summary
The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin by ivole for WordPress is affected in all versions up to and including 5.126.0. Insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'slides_to_show' shortcode attribute lets authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above store arbitrary web scripts in pages. The scripts run whenever a user accesses an injected page, which is a cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79).
