3th percentile - higher than 3% of all known CVEs

Summary

The WPS Visitor Counter WordPress plugin through 1.4.8 does not escape the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] parameter before outputting it back in an attribute, which could lead to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in old web browsers. An attacker can inject malicious scripts that execute in the victim's browser.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes data theft, session hijacking, or unauthorized actions in the user's browser context. The attack requires the victim to use an older browser that lacks modern protections.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to the latest version if available and implement input filtering and output escaping. Also advise users to use up-to-date browsers.
