AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Easy Plugin Stats WordPress plugin (up to version 2.0.1). It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied input in the 'eps' shortcode attributes. Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages, which then execute whenever any user views those pages.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability allows attackers with contributor-level access or above to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as stealing user session data, defacing the website, or performing actions on behalf of other users without their consent, potentially compromising site integrity and user security.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately remove or deactivate the Easy Plugin Stats plugin if it is installed, especially versions up to and including 2.0.1. Since the plugin has been permanently closed and removed from download as of August 15, 2025, at the author's request, do not reinstall it. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access and above to trusted users only to reduce risk of exploitation. [2]
