Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Abdi Pranata.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on multiple functions in the 'CR_Manual' class versions up to, and including, 5.38.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to send manual review reminders.
