Vulnerability Overview
The WP Statistics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure via the Metabox REST API in versions up to, and including, 13.2.5. This allows all authenticated users to access statistics generated by the plugin.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Reaching this weakness in WP Statistics 13.2.5 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.
The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For WP Statistics the fix is 13.2.6: builds 13.2.5 are affected, anything from 13.2.6 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 13.2.6, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The fix is the thing that ends this: WP Statistics 13.2.6 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
