CVE-2026-115811 Details
Description
The Strong Testimonials plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'star_rating' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.16 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. Successful execution requires an administrator to open the standard Preview link for a pending testimonial, a step the plugin's normal moderation workflow naturally invites.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Strong Testimonials plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 3.3.16. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts into testimonials. These scripts execute when a user views the testimonial, particularly if an administrator previews a pending testimonial, which is a common part of the moderation process.
Users are advised to update the Strong Testimonials plugin to version 3.3.17 or a newer patched version.
