TablePress Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability for WordPress

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the TablePress plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions through 3.0.4. This vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with Author-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. The injected scripts are executed when users access the affected pages.

Impact

Remediation

Users can update to TablePress version 3.1 or a newer patched version to address this vulnerability.
