CVE-2026-16562

A vulnerability exists in the WP Statistics plugin for WordPress prior to version 14.16.10, where insufficient access controls allow users with subscriber privileges or higher to view sensitive information about website visitors through certain dashboard functions. This occurs because the plugin does not verify user permissions when handling these specific requests. As a result, unauthorized disclosure of visitor analytics data is possible.
