Summary

The SortTable Post plugin for WordPress (all versions up to and including 4.2) is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting via the 'id' parameter in the sorttablepost shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. An authenticated attacker with contributor-level access or above can inject arbitrary web scripts.

Risk Assessment

Malicious scripts could execute in users' browsers upon mouse interaction, potentially leading to session or data theft.

Recommendation

Update the SortTable Post plugin to a version later than 4.2 or remove it if no update is available.

Original NVD description (English source)

The SortTable Post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'id' parameter in the sorttablepost shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This makes it possible for 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 via mouse interaction.
