The WP Statistics WordPress plugin is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient escaping and sanitization of the IP parameter found in the ~/includes/class-wp-statistics-ip.php file which allows attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts onto several pages that execute when site administrators view a sites statistics, in versions up to and including 13.1.5.
CVE-2022-25305
Score elevated to 8.8 because EPSS predicts 79% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.4% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 7.2 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 79%
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
