Description
The WordPress Popular Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Views Changes in versions up to, and including, 6.0.5. This is due to a lack of user input validation on a REST endpoint that results in unprotected behavior in the 'update_views_count' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to manipulate and potentially change the views count endpoint.
