WordPress · Wp Statistics · CVE-2019-12566
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WP Statistics plugin versions prior to 12.6.6
**Description**
The issue is related to stored XSS in the includes/class-wp-statistics-pages.php file. It can be exploited when an account with the Editor role creates a post with a title containing JavaScript, which can then be used to attack an admin user.
**Recommendations**
For WP Statistics plugin versions prior to 12.6.6, update to version 12.6.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the ability of Editor role accounts to create posts with titles that contain JavaScript.
