CVE-2022-1005

The WP Statistics WordPress plugin before 13.2.2 does not sanitise the REQUEST_URI parameter before outputting it back in the rendered page, leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in web browsers which do not encode characters

MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 0.89%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.89%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
