CVE-2024-12072
Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Made Easy <= 1.1.2 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting
The Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Made Easy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action, such as clicking on a specially crafted link. CVE-2025-24615 is likely a duplicate of this.
