WP-Statpress XSS
Written by r3ck0rd on Sunday, July 6, 2008 – 01:58:01 PMOne XSS from WP-Statpress, where you can put XSS in the referrer by modifying the referrer with a program like Achilles (not available to download anymore, but you can search for it, or use a Firefox Plugin). Take a look at here:
1146: $referrer = (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : ''); 1147: $userAgent = (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] : '');
Which means, it is vulnerable if someone modifies the referrer through Achilles (I’ll show you how sometime), and put an xss script (something like: http://abc.de/’>”><script>alert(/xss/)</script>), and modify the user agent and put an XSS script. As you know, this can be used for stealing cookies.
Affected Version: 1.2.9
The author has released the patch, update your plugin now from your plugins tab.
