# CVE-2026-4664: Customer Reviews for WooCommerce \<= 5.103.0 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass to Arbitrary Review Submission via 'key' Parameter

- Severity: CVSS 5.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial

## Affected

- ivole Customer Reviews for WooCommerce: through 5.103.0

## Description

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.103.0. This is due to the `create_review_permissions_check()` function comparing the user-supplied `key` parameter against the order's `ivole_secret_key` meta value using strict equality (`===`), without verifying that the stored key is non-empty. For orders where no review reminder email has been sent, the `ivole_secret_key` meta is not set, causing `get_meta()` to return an empty string. An attacker can supply `key: ""` to match this empty value and bypass the permission check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to submit, modify, and inject product reviews on any product — including products not associated with the referenced order — via the REST API endpoint `POST /ivole/v1/review`. Reviews are auto-approved by default since `ivole_enable_moderation` defaults to `"no"`.
