Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-16562 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Statistics. 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-2026-16562/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16562/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16562","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16562/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16562","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vvrr-6wxv-c229"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated subscribers can access sensitive visitor analytics data due to missing capability checks in AJAX handlers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"The WP Statistics  WordPress plugin before 14.16.10 does not perform a capability check on a set of dashboard analytics AJAX handlers, relying only on a nonce that every authenticated user holds, allowing users with Subscriber-level access and above to disclose the site's visitor analytics data.","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 Statistics \u003c 14.16.10 - Subscriber+ Sensitive Data Disclosure via Metabox AJAX Handlers","id":"CVE-2026-16562","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Academy LMS \u003c 3.8.3 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Lesson Content Disclosure via lessons REST Endpoint","id":"CVE-2026-16563"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Sunshine Photo Cart \u003c 3.6.12 - Unauthenticated Private Gallery Comment Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-16561"},"products":["WP Statistics"],"published":"2026-08-08","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated subscribers can access sensitive visitor analytics data due to missing capability checks in AJAX handlers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16562/"}
