CVE-2026-3488

The record

The WP Statistics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 14.16.4. This is due to missing capability checks on multiple AJAX handlers including `wp_statistics_get_filters`, `wp_statistics_getPrivacyStatus`, `wp_statistics_updatePrivacyStatus`, and `wp_statistics_dismiss_notices`. These endpoints only verify a `wp_rest` nonce via `check_ajax_referer()` but do not enforce any capability checks such as `current_user_can()` or the plugin's own `User::Access()` method. Since the `wp_rest` nonce is available to all authenticated WordPress users, this makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to access sensitive analytics data (user IDs, usernames, emails, visitor tracking data), retrieve and modify privacy audit compliance status, and dismiss administrative notices.
