What the vulnerability does
01Description
The TablePress – Tables in WordPress made easy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's `table` shortcode attributes in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

TablePress versions up to 3.2.4 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users with low privileges to inject malicious scripts into table data. When other users view affected tables, the injected code executes in their browsers, potentially compromising their sessions or stealing data. The vulnerability affects the scope beyond the plugin itself due to WordPress integration.
