Exploitation Conditions

Requires a WordPress site running the QA Analytics (qa-heatmap-analytics) plugin at version 5.3.0.0 or earlier with the heatmap/analytics data-collection feature active, which embeds sensitive information into data sent to clients. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication, user interaction, or special attacker position is required against a default-configured vulnerable installation. The primary limiting factors are that the target must have this specific plugin installed and that impact is confined to LOW-sensitivity data disclosure (VC:L) with no integrity or availability effect.

Impact

This is a medium-severity information disclosure flaw (CVSS 4.0 base 6.9, CWE-201) in the QA Analytics WordPress plugin. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated issue with only LOW confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact - meaning it leaks embedded sensitive data rather than granting system compromise. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the source data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The signals are internally consistent: a genuinely remote/unauthenticated issue but with limited (confidentiality-only, LOW) impact, so this is a real-but-modest priority rather than a critical emergency. The absence of KEV/EPSS/POC signals means exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the input and should be treated as unknown rather than low. Sourced solely from Patchstack via a single reference; no independent vendor advisory was supplied.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote unauthenticated attacker interacts with a WordPress site running QA Analytics (qa-heatmap-analytics) ≤ 5.3.0.0 and retrieves embedded sensitive data that the plugin inadvertently inserts into data it sends to clients. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no credentials or user interaction are needed, though impact is limited to disclosure of low-sensitivity information. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 09, 2026

Sensitive information disclosure in QA Analytics WordPress plugin versions through 5.3.0.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve embedded sensitive data sent to clients. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 4.0 6.9, CWE-201) affects sites with the plugin's heatmap/analytics data-collection feature active, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/qa-heatmap-analytics/vulnerability/wordpress-qa-analytics-plugin-5-3-0-0-sensitive-data-exposure-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) for updates. As a compensating control, disable the heatmap/analytics data-collection feature within the QA Analytics plugin settings if possible; this prevents sensitive information from being embedded in client responses but disables analytics functionality. Alternatively, remove the plugin entirely if analytics are not essential. Restricting access to the plugin's endpoints via web application firewall or server configuration may reduce exposure but does not eliminate the underlying flaw and could disrupt legitimate analytics collection.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is an instance of CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data), where the QA Analytics plugin for WordPress embeds sensitive information into data sent to clients-likely via JavaScript files, API responses, or HTML output used for heatmap and analytics collection. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:quarka:qa_analytics:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected component as all versions of QuarkA's QA Analytics up to and including 5.3.0.0. This class of flaw occurs when an application includes sensitive data in outbound communications without proper filtering, allowing an attacker to simply inspect the client-side data to extract secrets. The plugin's data-collection feature actively transmits analytics data to the browser, which should be sanitized but instead exposes embedded sensitive information.
