Stored XSS via unsanitized formula output
Published Oct 12, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in TablePress 2.4.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with Author access to execute scripts in visitors' browsers. The formula evaluator writes computed table-cell output into rendered tables without sanitizing it, allowing crafted formula results to become active markup. An attacker must be able to edit a table as an Author or higher, and execution occurs when another user opens a page containing the affected table.
