At a glance

CVE-2025-10679 is a high-severity Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in the ReviewX WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 2.2.12. It carries a CVSS score of 7.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 2.3.0; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed March 2026, reported by abrahack.

Vulnerability Overview

The ReviewX – WooCommerce Product Reviews with Multi-Criteria, Reminder Emails, Google Reviews, Schema & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary method calls in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.12. This is due to insufficient input validation in the bulkTenReviews function that allows user-controlled data to be passed directly to a variable function call mechanism. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to call arbitrary PHP class methods that take no inputs or have default values, potentially leading to information disclosure or remote code execution depending on available methods and server configuration.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

Reaching this weakness in ReviewX <= 2.2.12 takes no account at all. Code injection means input from a request reaches a language construct that evaluates code, so the attacker's text is executed rather than treated as data.

The injected code runs with the web server's privileges, giving the attacker the same access to the database and filesystem as WordPress itself. For ReviewX the fix is 2.3.0: builds <= 2.2.12 are affected, anything from 2.3.0 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 2.3.0, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Requests carrying this pattern arrive without a session, so nothing upstream of the firewall gets a chance to reject them: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. Classes like this one can leave something behind, so the staged malware scanner is the second half: it looks for dropped files and modified code rather than for the request that created them. None of that substitutes for the fix: ReviewX 2.3.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
