Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a cross-site scripting flaw in the Polldaddy Polls & Ratings WordPress plugin before 2.0.25. A remote attacker could inject script or HTML through ratings shortcode handling. Business risk depends on whether legacy WordPress sites still use this plugin version. Exposure is most likely on older WordPress sites that installed Polldaddy Polls & Ratings and have not upgraded beyond versions before 2.0.25. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, so inventory confirmation is required. Treat this as a legacy web exposure cleanup item. It is not currently evidenced as actively exploited, but outdated WordPress plugins are common attack surfaces and should be removed or upgraded promptly. Mitigation focus: Inventory WordPress sites for the Polldaddy Polls & Ratings plugin.; Upgrade any instance older than 2.0.25 using vendor guidance.; Remove the plugin where it is no longer required..
