CVE-2026-101924 Details
Description
The NewStatPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 1.4.5 via the 'Last referrers' meta box on the plugin's Overview admin page. This is due to insufficient output escaping of the visitor-supplied query string that the plugin records in its statistics table: the newstatpress_generate_overview_lastreferrers() function concatenates the stored urlrequested value into a single-quoted href attribute after only FILTER_SANITIZE_URL, which does not encode the apostrophe. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a high-privileged user, such as an administrator, accesses the Overview page and hovers the injected link.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the NewStatPress plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 1.4.5. The issue arises in the 'Last referrers' meta box on the Overview admin page, where visitor-supplied query strings are inadequately sanitized before being saved. The function newstatpress_generate_overview_lastreferrers() adds the urlrequested value to a single-quoted href attribute after applying only FILTER_SANITIZE_URL, which fails to properly encode apostrophes. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to inject scripts that execute when a high-privileged user, such as an administrator, hovers over the modified link on the Overview page.
No known patch is available. It is recommended to uninstall the affected plugin and consider a replacement.
