Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NewStatPress WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.3.6

Description The issue is related to the NewStatPress WordPress plugin, which does not properly escape the whatX parameters before outputting them back in attributes. This leads to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting issues, allowing a remote attacker to conduct inter-site script attacks.
