CVE-2025-13048
The StatCounter – Free Real Time Visitor Stats plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the user's Nickname in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
