- CVE-2026-100157, 3 Oct 2026
- The The WP Ultimate Review plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.3. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. The nonce required to pass the only gate is emitted to unauthenticated visitors via the public review form, and submitted shortcode payloads are auto-published without admin approval by default, meaning exploitation requires no account and no privileged interaction.

- CVE-2026-103519, 3 Oct 2026
- The The WP Ultimate Review plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.3. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to execute arbitrary shortcodes. The bypass relies on WordPress's own strip_shortcodes() function unwrapping the [[tag]] double-bracket escape to a bare [tag] that survives wp_insert_post storage and fires when the publicly queryable xs_review post type is rendered through the_content. CVE record
- CVE-2026-101159, 3 Oct 2026
- The WP Ultimate Review WordPress plugin before 2.4.4 does not properly sanitise and escape reviews submitted through its public review form, which is available to unauthenticated visitors, allowing them to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against any user, including administrators, viewing a page displaying the review, when user reviews are enabled. CVE record
- CVE-2026-101160, 3 Oct 2026
- The WP Ultimate Review WordPress plugin before 2.4.4 does not validate that a submitted review rating is numeric before storing it and later using it in numeric operations when rendering reviews, allowing unauthenticated users to make the reviewed content fail with a fatal error for all visitors until the review is removed (a persistent denial of service), when user reviews are enabled. CVE record
- CVE-2026-101161, 3 Oct 2026
- The WP Ultimate Review WordPress plugin before 2.4.4 does not prevent unauthenticated users from storing crafted review content that makes the reviewed page fail with a fatal error on every subsequent visit, resulting in a persistent denial of service when the WP Ultimate Review WordPress plugin before 2.4.4's review display settings have never been saved. CVE record
- CVE-2026-101162, 3 Oct 2026
- The WP Ultimate Review WordPress plugin before 2.4.4 does not escape some of its review overview settings before outputting them in posts, which could allow users with a role as low as author to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, when author reviews are enabled. CVE record
- CVE-2026-92235, 22 Sep 2026
- The The WP Ultimate Review plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.2. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to execute arbitrary shortcodes. CVE record
What to do if you run WP Ultimate Review
If you run WP Ultimate Review, open WordPress and check the installed version in Plugins. Compare it with the affected versions in the vulnerability record. If a fixed version is available, take a current backup and update to that version or the latest supported release.
