CVE-2026-12154, 6 Jul 2026
The Reviews Widgets for Google, Yelp & TripAdvisor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'page_id' shortcode attribute of the [fbrev] shortcode in versions up to and including 2.7.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the Feed_Shortcode::fbrev() method, which passes the raw shortcode attribute through Feed_Old::get_feed() into the View::render() method, where it is echoed directly into the data-id HTML attribute without esc_attr(). 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.

CVE-2025-12705, 9 Dec 2025
The Social Reviews & Recommendations plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several parameters in the 'trim_text' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 2.5. CVE record
