CVE-2026-101924
HighCVSS 7.2Summary
The NewStatPress plugin for WordPress up to version 1.4.5 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Last referrers' meta box on the Overview admin page due to insufficient output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts.
Risk Assessment
An attacker may inject malicious scripts that execute when an administrator visits the Overview page and hovers over a link, potentially leading to session theft or account takeover.
Recommendation
Update the NewStatPress plugin to the latest version that includes security fixes.
Other vulnerabilities in NewStatPress
See all- CVE-2026-100153High
The NewStatPress plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 1.4.5 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'QUERY_STRING / REQUEST_URI' parameter. Due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, an unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary scripts into pages that execute when a user visits the injected page. Exploitation requires that an administrator has placed the [NewStatPress type="Top Pages"] shortcode on a publicly viewable page, and that the attacker's crafted URL accumulates enough hits to appear in the top-N ranking.
- CVE-2026-14845Medium
The NewStatPress WordPress plugin before version 1.4.5 does not sanitize and escape data from unauthenticated visitor requests before storing and later outputting it in one of its widgets. This allows unauthenticated attackers to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against users viewing the affected widget.
- CVE-2025-13747Medium
The NewStatPress plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 1.4.3 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via a regex bypass in the `nsp_shortcode` function due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user visits the injected page.
Original NVD description (English source)
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.
