AI Analysis

Impact

The MCB Stats WordPress plugin fails to sanitise or escape HTTP request header values before storing and later rendering them in the admin statistics grid. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to insert malicious JavaScript that is executed when the statistics page is viewed, effectively creating a stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability within the administrative interface.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the MCB Stats plugin version 1.0.0 or earlier are affected. No specific vendor other than "MCB" is listed as the product owner.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is not provided and the EPSS score is unavailable, while the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is sending a crafted HTTP request containing a malicious User‑Agent header to a site that stores that header; the stored payload then executes in any administrator's browser session that views the statistics page. As the attack is unauthenticated, the risk depends on the impact a malicious script can have on an admin session, including cookie theft, session hijacking, or arbitrary actions performed as an administrator.

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the MCB Stats plugin to a patched version that sanitises or escapes stored header values.
  • If no update is available, modify the plugin or add a custom filter to escape or remove stored User‑Agent header values before they are rendered in the admin statistics grid.
  • Alternatively, configure the web server or a security plugin to reject or strip malicious User‑Agent headers before they are stored.
