The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-97276 is a reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) flaw in the VeronaLabs WP Statistics WordPress plugin (wp-statistics). It arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing malicious input to be reflected back to users without adequate sanitization. This can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts when a user interacts with crafted URLs or inputs. The affected versions include all versions up to and including 14.16.14.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially leading to information disclosure, session hijacking, or other client-side impacts. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.1 (high), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
