Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Statistics plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 13.1.1

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the view() function, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to activate and deactivate arbitrary plugins via a forged request. This can happen if an attacker can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 13.1.1, consider disabling the view() function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to plugin management to minimize the risk of arbitrary plugin activation and deactivation.
