CVE Catalog

CVE-2026-97347

HighCVSS 7.2
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Post Views Stats Counter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via User-Agent Header in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The plugin's only input filter is a substring blacklist for known bot signatures, which can be trivially bypassed.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can inject malicious scripts that execute in visitors' browsers, potentially leading to data theft, session hijacking, or other attacks on users.

Recommendation

Update the Post Views Stats Counter plugin to the latest available version that includes a fix for this vulnerability.

The Post Views Stats Counter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via User-Agent Header in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The plugin's only input filter is a substring blacklist for known bot signatures (e.g. 'bot', 'spider', 'crawler'), which can be trivially bypassed by crafting a User-Agent payload that omits those strings.
