CVE-2025-14151: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in veronalabs SlimStat Analytics
The SlimStat Analytics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'outbound_resource' parameter in the slimtrack AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 5.3.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-14151 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the SlimStat Analytics WordPress plugin by veronalabs. It affects all versions up to and including 5.3.2. The flaw is due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'outbound_resource' parameter handled by the slimtrack AJAX action, allowing injection of arbitrary web scripts. The vulnerability can be exploited without authentication and requires no user interaction to trigger script execution when a user visits an injected page. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with scope change.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages served by the SlimStat Analytics plugin. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of information and modification of content viewed by users. There is no direct impact on availability. The vulnerability affects confidentiality and integrity of user sessions or data accessible via the injected scripts.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling or removing the SlimStat Analytics plugin or restricting access to the affected AJAX action if possible. Monitor official veronalabs communications for updates on patches or mitigations.
