What the vulnerability does
The WP Get The Table plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘url’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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
WP Get The Table versions 1.5 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability has a changed scope, meaning the attack can affect other users or the site itself. An attacker with low-level WordPress access can craft malicious input that executes in other users' browsers, potentially compromising their sessions or stealing data.
What an attacker can do
Inject JavaScript code that runs in other users' browsers and affects the site.
Potential impact on your site
Other users visiting affected pages may have their sessions compromised or data stolen via injected scripts.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-level WordPress user account (e.g., subscriber or contributor).
