An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-36528 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: FeedbackWP kk Star Ratings. 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-2023-36528/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-36528/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-36528","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-36528/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-36528","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-58mm-jjg7-f87h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can manipulate star ratings by spoofing IP addresses due to missing authorization checks in the kk Star Ratings plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in FeedbackWP kk Star Ratings allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects kk Star Ratings: from n/a through 5.4.3.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress kk Star Ratings plugin \u003c= 5.4.3 - Rate Manipulation due to IP Spoofing Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-36528","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Houzez CRM Plugin \u003c= 1.3.4 is vulnerable to SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2023-36529"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Post to CSV by BestWebSoft Plugin \u003c= 1.4.0 is vulnerable to CSV Injection","id":"CVE-2023-36527"},"products":["kk Star Ratings"],"published":"2024-12-13","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["FeedbackWP"]},"summary":"Attackers can manipulate star ratings by spoofing IP addresses due to missing authorization checks in the kk Star Ratings plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-36528/"}
