AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HTML filter and csv-file search plugin for WordPress versions up to 2.7

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's 'csvsearch' shortcode, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to 2.7, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the 'csvsearch' shortcode to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
