Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-4656 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4656/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4656/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-4656","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4656/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-4656","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wx36-cxf5-rg36"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via shortcode attributes in the WP Visitor Statistics plugin, potentially compromising user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"visitor_statistics","vendor":"codepress"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic) WordPress plugin before 6.5 does not validate and escape one of its shortcode attributes, which could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic) \u003c 6.5 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2022-4656","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Restaurant Menu \u003c 2.3.6 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2022-4657"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Welcart e-Commerce \u003c 2.8.9 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2022-4655"},"products":["WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic)"],"published":"2023-02-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic) \u003c 6.9 - Unauthenticated SQLi","id":"CVE-2023-0600","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-15"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"WordPress WP Visitor Statistics plugin \u003c= 5.7 - Multiple Unauthenticated SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2022-33965","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic) \u003c 5.6 - Subscriber+ SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2022-0410","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-07"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic) \u003c 4.8 - Subscriber+ SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-24750","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-21"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic) \u003c 5.5 - Arbitrary IP Address Exclusion to Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-25042","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-28"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"WordPress WP Stats Manager plugin \u003c= 6.9.4 - Sensitive Data Exposure vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-24867","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-17"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-20","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via shortcode attributes in the WP Visitor Statistics plugin, potentially compromising user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4656/"}
