## Description

The ShopEngine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Rating Singular Label' and 'Rating Plural Label' settings of the Product Rating widget in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.8, due to insufficient output escaping. The labels are concatenated into a printf format string and printed without escaping. 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.
