Stored script execution via unescaped table fields
Published Feb 1, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Stored XSS in Mahmudul Hasan Arif Ninja Tables before 4.1.8 allows remote authenticated users to execute script via table fields. The administrative table editor stores unsanitized column names and row data, then renders them without output escaping in Table Design and Table Row views. Administrator access is required to store the payload, and a later visit to an affected administrative view executes it in that visitor's browser.
