DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered a vulnerability in the
WP-Stats-Dashboard plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the "onchange" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/wp-stats-dashboard/view/admin/blocks/select-trend.php
is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can
be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.6.6.1. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
