An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-9816 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: veronalabs WP Statistics – Simple, privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative. 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-2025-9816/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-9816/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-9816","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-9816/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-9816","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v8h5-jm3h-5252"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary scripts via the User-Agent header, leading to stored XSS execution for site visitors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/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 Statistics – The Most Popular Privacy-Friendly Analytics Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the User-Agent Header in all versions up to, and including, 14.5.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
