Description
The Widgets for SourceForge Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via the unauthenticated review download webhook in all versions up to, and including, 14.2. This is due to the webhook comparing the submitted token against the raw 'review-download-inprogress' option, which holds the predictable string 'error' after a failed review download. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to submit 'error' as the token and replace the site's stored reviews and business page details with arbitrary content, provided the plugin is connected and a review download has previously failed.
