Synopsis

WP Statistics Plugin for WordPress < 13.0.8 SQL Injection

A remote attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate SQL queries, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information and modification of data.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
