Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the plugin's public visitor tracking endpoint (wmcAction=wmcTrack) due to insufficient input sanitization on the 'browser' parameter. The vulnerability is triggered when the bundled jqPlot PieRenderer processes the unsanitized parameter and inserts the HTML-decoded value directly as HTML in the administrator's browser. An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript via an HTTP request to the tracking endpoint, and the payload persists and executes whenever an authenticated administrator accesses the affected page.
