Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions wpDataTables – WordPress Data Table, Dynamic Tables & Table Charts Plugin versions up to, and including, 3.4.2.12

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the CSV import functionality due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.4.2.12, update to a version higher than 3.4.2.12 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the CSV import functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to the plugin's functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
