## Description

The Starfish Review Generation & Marketing for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via public testimonial submissions in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.30, due to the raw submission data being written to the plugin log and the Settings log viewer's Refresh button inserting the log contents into the page as HTML without escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in an administrator's browser when the administrator refreshes the logs, provided plugin logging is enabled.
