PR Type
Description
Approving a listing review could send its owner a WordPress comment email containing the reviewer's IP/hostname and moderation links. Owners could then mark another user's review as spam using their listing-edit permissions, even without
moderate_comments.Require moderation permission for native comment actions and keep frontend author content editing separate. Send the owner one approval-driven notification containing the listing, public reviewer name, rating, review text and public link. Suppress WordPress's default review-owner email, exclude private reviewer fields from the body and headers, honor the notification setting, and avoid duplicates on reapproval. Correct the exception arguments on denied frontend edits so rejection does not trigger a PHP error.
How to test
moderate_comments. Submit a pending review and verify no owner notification is sent.Validation
