Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Post List Table plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.3

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wpb post list table' 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 versions up to, and including, 1.0.3, consider disabling the 'wpb post list table' shortcode until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to pages that use this shortcode to minimize the risk of arbitrary web script execution. Avoid using the shortcode with user-supplied attributes until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
