Operationally, ranked in the top 1.8% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
The WP Statistics WordPress plugin is vulnerable to SQL injection in versions up to and including 13.1.5. The flaw stems from insufficient escaping and parameterization of the current_page_id parameter in the file includes/class-wp-statistics-hits.php, which maps to CWE-89 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.
Unauthenticated attackers can supply crafted requests over the network to inject arbitrary SQL queries. Successful exploitation can expose sensitive database contents and, given the complete impact metrics, may also permit modification or deletion of data.
Public references point to a WordPress plugin changeset that addresses the issue along with detailed advisories from Wordfence and proof-of-concept material on Packet Storm and GitHub. The EPSS score has reached 0.5776 without an observable climb from a lower baseline after disclosure.
