CVE-2026-17506: Independent Analytics 404 tracking permits unauthenticated stored XSS

Independent Analytics through 2.15.0 allows unauthenticated stored cross-site scripting through an encoded 404 URL. An attacker can request a crafted 404 path, obtain the tracking payload and MD5 signature embedded in the resulting public page, and submit the signed payload.not_found_url value to POST /wp-json/iawp/search. Resource_Identifier::for_current_page() and View::fetch_or_create_resource() carry the value into the analytics resources table. Table::get_cell_content() later applies urldecode() after esc_url(), reconstructing percent-encoded script-capable markup when the stored URL entry is displayed.
