Unauthorized review reminders via missing capability checks
Published Feb 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in CusRev Customer Reviews for WooCommerce 5.38.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to send review reminders. Multiple CR_Manual functions omit a WordPress capability check before dispatching manual review-reminder messages. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and exploitation sends unauthorized messages to customers without disclosing data or interrupting service.
