CVE-2026-118204

WP Data Access <= 5.5.89 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'Image URL' Media-Type Column Renderer

Published Nov 7, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The WP Data Access – App Builder for Tables, Forms, Dashboards, Charts & Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'ImageURL column value (populated from wp_usermeta.description in the demonstrated path)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.89 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires an administrator to have published a DataTables shortcode over a database column the attacker controls (e.g., wp_usermeta.description) with the Image URL media type assigned to that column — both are supported plugin features but are not enabled by default.
