Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in etruel WP Views Counter allows Stored XSS. This issue affects WP Views Counter: from n/a through 2.0.3.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in WP Views Counter plugin for WordPress up to version 2.0.3 allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute when other users view the affected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or defacement. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at this time.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in the WP Views Counter plugin, which tracks post view counts. The plugin fails to sanitize user-supplied input before storing it in the database and later rendering it in web pages. This is a classic CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) flaw. The affected product is a WordPress plugin, as indicated by the CPE and references to Patchstack. The CVSS vector shows the attack requires low privileges (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R), with scope change (S:C) indicating the injected script can affect other users.
RemediationAI
Upgrade WP Views Counter to version 2.0.4 or later, as the vendor has released a patched version. No workarounds are documented; however, as a compensating control, administrators can restrict contributor-level user capabilities or implement a web application firewall (WAF) rule to block malicious script payloads. Note that restricting user roles may impact site functionality, and WAF rules may not catch all XSS variants.
