The WP Statistics WordPress plugin before 13.2.9 does not escape a parameter, which could allow authenticated users to perform SQL Injection attacks. By default, the affected feature is available to users with the manage_options capability (admin+), however the plugin has a settings to allow low privilege users to access it as well.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
