WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The 4stats plugin for WordPress contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability (CVE-2025-3869) affecting all versions up to and including 2.0.9. The vulnerability was discovered and reported on May 23, 2025. The issue stems from missing or incorrect nonce validation on the stats/stats.php page, affecting WordPress installations using the 4stats plugin (NVD, WordPress Plugin).
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.1 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The technical root cause is identified as missing or incorrect nonce validation on the stats/stats.php page, which falls under the CWE-79 category (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation). This security flaw allows for both Cross-Site Request Forgery and potential stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to update settings and inject malicious web scripts through forged requests. The impact is contingent upon successfully tricking a site administrator into performing specific actions, such as clicking on a malicious link. The vulnerability affects the confidentiality and integrity of the system with low severity, while availability remains unaffected (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
As of May 22, 2025, the plugin has been temporarily closed and is not available for download pending a full security review. Site administrators using the affected versions should consider disabling the plugin until a patched version is released (WordPress Plugin).
