Who should care

Users of BuddyHolis TableSearch plugin for WordPress, especially those with Contributor-level access and above, should be aware of this vulnerability and take necessary actions to protect their sites. This includes updating the plugin to a version that fixes the vulnerability, restricting access to the plugin's settings and functionality, and monitoring for suspicious activity.

Technical summary

The BuddyHolis TableSearch plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'placeholder' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0.

An authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access and above can inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.4 and is considered Medium priority.

Defensive priority

Medium priority due to the CVSS score of 6.4 and the potential for authenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Update the BuddyHolis TableSearch plugin to a version that fixes the vulnerability, if available.
  • Restrict access to the plugin's settings and functionality to trusted users only.
  • Monitor for suspicious activity and injected scripts on the site.
  • Consider implementing additional security measures such as Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and prevent similar attacks.
  • Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.
