CVE-2026-7634: 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 'User-Agent' header in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.11 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The show_complete_user_agent_tooltip setting must be explicitly enabled by an administrator (disabled by default) for the stored payload to be rendered and executed.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-7634 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the SlimStat Analytics plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 5.4.11. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input in the 'User-Agent' header, allowing injection of arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when a user accesses a page rendering the injected content. Exploitation requires that the show_complete_user_agent_tooltip setting be enabled by an administrator, which is not enabled by default. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 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 confidentiality and integrity with scope change.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected website, potentially allowing attackers to steal sensitive information or perform actions on behalf of users. The impact is limited by the requirement that the show_complete_user_agent_tooltip setting be enabled, which is disabled by default. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, administrators should ensure the show_complete_user_agent_tooltip setting remains disabled to prevent exploitation. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply any released patches promptly.
