Description

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'slides_to_show' attribute of the 'cusrev_reviews_slider' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 5.126.0, due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The attribute value is placed unchanged into the slider settings, which are JSON-encoded and printed inside a single-quoted data-slick HTML attribute without attribute escaping, so a single quote in the value ends the attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
