# CVE-2026-120553: Customer Reviews for WooCommerce <= 5.126.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'slides_to_show' Shortcode Attribute

Status: published. Published: 2026-11-05. Updated: 2026-11-05.

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'slides_to_show' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.126.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
