The CSV to SortTable plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'csv' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the CSV to SortTable plugin for WordPress. It occurs via the 'csv' shortcode in all versions up to and including 4.2 because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied attributes. Authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages, which then execute whenever any user views those pages.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions that compromise the security and integrity of the website and its users.
