The WP Statistics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 14.16.4. This is due to missing capability checks on multiple AJAX handlers including wp_statistics_get_filters, wp_statistics_getPrivacyStatus, wp_statistics_updatePrivacyStatus, and wp_statistics_dismiss_notices. These endpoints only verify a wp_rest nonce via check_ajax_referer() but do not enforce any capability checks such as current_user_can() or the plugin's own User::Access() method. Since the wp_rest nonce is available to all authenticated WordPress users, this makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to access sensitive analytics data (user IDs, usernames, emails, visitor tracking data), retrieve and modify privacy audit compliance status, and dismiss administrative notices.
