Description
The Simple Tableau Viz plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'tableau' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.0. 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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Simple Tableau Viz WordPress plugin. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied input in the 'tableau' shortcode attributes. As a result, authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious JavaScript code into pages. This code will execute whenever any user views the infected page.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability allows attackers with contributor-level access to inject arbitrary scripts into WordPress pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as stealing user credentials, hijacking user sessions, defacing the website, or distributing malware to visitors. It compromises the integrity and security of the website and its users.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include disabling or uninstalling the Simple Tableau Viz plugin until a secure update is released, restricting contributor-level access to trusted users only, and monitoring for any suspicious activity related to injected scripts on your WordPress site. [1]
