## Technical details

The plugin fails to sanitize the 'wcpr_image_upload_id' parameter before storing it in comment metadata and outputs it unsafely on the frontend, resulting in stored DOM-based XSS. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit a publicly-disclosed nonce on product review forms to inject arbitrary JavaScript without authentication or capability checks; the payload persists in comment meta and executes whenever the review is displayed.
