CVE-2025-49996Network attack vector

Unauthenticated database table deletion via unguarded action

Published Jun 20, 2025 · Updated May 12, 2026

Missing authorization in osama.esh WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic) 8.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete database tables. The fixed_db_issue action accepts unauthenticated requests and invokes DROP TABLE without a current_user_can check or nonce validation. A network request to an exposed WordPress site is sufficient, and the documented consequence is deletion of the plugin's statistics tables.
