Summary

The Ninja Tables WordPress plugin prior to version 5.0.17 has a flaw that allows user-provided data to be embedded in pages without proper sanitization or escaping. This oversight occurs when importing CSV files, creating a potential avenue for attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages that are subsequently displayed to users. As a result, an attacker exploiting this vulnerability could execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected site, potentially compromising user sessions or leading to unauthorized data access.
