Vulnerability Overview

The WP-Stats WordPress plugin before 2.52 does not have CSRF check in admin-menu when saving its settings, and did not escape some of them when outputting them, allowing attacker to make logged in high privilege users change them and set Cross-Site Scripting payloads in wordpress-admin-panel.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.52, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)) The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
