CVE-2022-1772 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Google Places Reviews WordPress plugin prior to version 2.0.0. A malicious administrator in a WordPress multisite configuration could exploit this by injecting a crafted Google API key, which would then be reflected in the administration panel. This could trick super-administrators into viewing the payload, potentially leading to account takeover. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 4.8), the attack requires high privileges and user interaction, with a low impact on confidentiality and integrity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
