CVE-2022-25305Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated stored XSS via unsanitized IP field

Published Feb 24, 2022 · Updated Feb 7, 2025

Stored cross-site scripting in VeronaLabs WP Statistics 13.1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts in administrators' browsers. The IP-processing code in class-wp-statistics-ip.php stores and renders an attacker-controlled IP value without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. No authentication is required to submit the value, but a site administrator must view an affected statistics page before the script runs in that administrator's browser session.
