Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP jQuery DataTable plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.0.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wp jdt' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows 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.

Recommendations For WP jQuery DataTable plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.0.1, update to a version higher than 4.0.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'wp jdt' shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access and above to authorized personnel only.
