AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, site administrators should consider restricting access to the affected AJAX handlers or limiting Subscriber-level user capabilities as a temporary mitigation.
Description
The WP Statistics WordPress plugin before 14.16.10 does not perform a capability check on a set of dashboard analytics AJAX handlers, relying only on a nonce that every authenticated user holds, allowing users with Subscriber-level access and above to disclose the site's visitor analytics data.
