WP-Slimstat’s users should update as soon as possible! During a routine audit for our WAF, we discovered a security bug that an attacker could, by breaking the plugin’s weak “secret” key, use to perform a SQL Injection attack against the target website.

If you are using the WP-Slimstat plugin you would need to upgrade the plugin to version 3.9.6
