An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-28856 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: dangrossman W3Counter Free Real-Time Web Stats. 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-2025-28856/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-28856/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-28856","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-28856/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-28856","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hxrr-rqj9-gv3m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can trick authenticated users into performing unwanted actions in the W3Counter WordPress plugin, potentially altering settings or data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"w3counter","vendor":"w3counter"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in dangrossman W3Counter Free Real-Time Web Stats blog-stats-by-w3counter allows Cross Site Request Forgery.This issue affects W3Counter Free Real-Time Web Stats: from n/a through \u003c= 4.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress W3Counter Free Real-Time Web Stats plugin \u003c= 4.1 - Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-28856","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Rankchecker.io Integration plugin \u003c= 1.0.9 - CSRF to Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-28857"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Teleport plugin \u003c= 1.2.4 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-28855"},"products":["W3Counter Free Real-Time Web Stats"],"published":"2025-03-11","related":[],"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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["dangrossman"]},"summary":"Attackers can trick authenticated users into performing unwanted actions in the W3Counter WordPress plugin, potentially altering settings or data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-28856/"}
