Authenticated malicious redirect via HTTP-EQUIV injection
Published Apr 15, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Open redirect in WP Customer Reviews before 3.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to redirect page visitors to malicious URLs. The Business Name field is stored and rendered without sufficient attribute validation, so a crafted value injects an HTTP-EQUIV refresh directive. Contributor-level access is required to create the post, and the redirect occurs when another user views the resulting page.
