  name: WordPress NewStatPress <1.3.6 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: r3Y3r53
  severity: medium
  description: |
    WordPress NewStatPress plugin before 1.3.6 is susceptible to cross-site scripting. The plugin does not properly escape the whatX parameters before outputting them back in attributes. An attacker can inject arbitrary script in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to inject malicious scripts into the affected website, leading to potential data theft, session hijacking, or defacement.
  remediation: Fixed in version 1.3.6.
