Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-0079 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Customer Reviews for WooCommerce. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0079/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0079/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-0079","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0079/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-0079","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-grw9-xhr2-wcp3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via shortcode attributes in the Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin, leading to stored XSS.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"customer_reviews_for_woocommerce","vendor":"cusrev"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.17.0 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Customer Reviews for WooCommerce \u003c 5.17.0 - Contributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-0079","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Customer Reviews for WooCommerce \u003c 5.16.0 - Contributor+ LFI","id":"CVE-2023-0080"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Resume Builder \u003c= 3.1.1 - Subscriber+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-0078"},"products":["Customer Reviews for WooCommerce"],"published":"2024-01-16","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Customer Reviews for WooCommerce \u003c= 5.38.9 - Authenticated (Author+) Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2023-6979","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Customer Reviews for WooCommerce \u003c 5.16.0 - Contributor+ LFI","id":"CVE-2023-0080","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-13"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Customer Reviews for WooCommerce \u003c= 5.47.0 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 's'","id":"CVE-2024-3731","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-19"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Customer Reviews for WooCommerce \u003c= 5.38.10 - Improper Authorization via submit_review","id":"CVE-2024-1044","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-20"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"WordPress Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin \u003c= 5.3.5 - Sensitive Information Disclosure vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-40194","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-23"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"WordPress Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin \u003c= 5.36.0 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-45101","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-06-02","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via shortcode attributes in the Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin, leading to stored XSS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0079/"}
