WP Get The Table Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the WP Get The Table plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.5. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. The injected scripts execute when users access the compromised pages.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for stored cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user viewing the affected page.

Remediation

Users are advised to update to version 1.6.1, where this vulnerability has been patched. If an immediate update is not possible, consider uninstalling the plugin and finding a replacement.
