AI Analysis

Impact

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) exists in Page Visits Counter – Lite versions up to 1.2.3. The flaw allows injection of arbitrary JavaScript when a page displays the visit counter. The injected script runs in the context of the site, potentially affecting site functionality.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects WordPress installations running the Denis Botić:Page Visits Counter – Lite plugin version 1.2.3 or earlier. The plugin’s counter displays visitor statistics on site pages.

Risk and Exploitability

Attack execution does not require authentication and relies on a user accessing a page where the counter is rendered; therefore anyone who can view the site could potentially trigger the payload. The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates high severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Page Visits Counter – Lite to the latest version that resolves the XSS flaw.

  • Configure a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) that disallows inline scripts or restricts script execution to trusted origins, reducing the impact of any residual XSS injection.
