CVE-2026-101160: WP Ultimate Review input validation flaw in review rating

CVE-2026-101160 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-03

The WP Ultimate Review WordPress plugin fails to validate that user-submitted review ratings are numeric values. An unauthenticated attacker can submit a review with a non-numeric rating, causing the plugin to crash when displaying reviews, making the reviewed content inaccessible to all site visitors. This denial of service persists until an administrator manually removes the malicious review.

Technical details

The plugin accepts user review submissions without validating that the rating field contains a numeric value before storing it in the database. When reviews are rendered, the non-numeric rating is used in numeric operations, triggering a fatal error. This is a persistent denial-of-service vulnerability requiring no authentication and affecting sites with user reviews enabled.
