Descriptions

The kk Star Ratings WordPress plugin before 5.4.6 does not implement atomic operations, allowing one user vote multiple times on a poll due to a Race Condition.

El complemento kk Star Ratings de WordPress anterior a 5.4.6 no implementa operaciones atómicas, lo que permite a un usuario votar varias veces en una encuesta debido a una condición de ejecución.

The kk Star Ratings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a race condition in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.5. This is due to insufficient controls and checks on a user voting. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to provides ratings more than a single time.

KK Star Ratings versions prior to 5.4.6 suffer from rate tampering via a race condition vulnerability.
