Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in samsk WP DataTable allows DOM-Based XSS. This issue affects WP DataTable: from n/a through 0.2.7.
AnalysisAI
DOM-based XSS in the WP DataTable WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 0.2.7) allows a low-privileged authenticated attacker to inject malicious client-side scripts that execute in a victim's browser session. The flaw is classified under CWE-79 and arises from insufficient input neutralization in a DOM manipulation path, meaning the payload is processed by the browser rather than the server. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at the time of analysis; EPSS at 0.04% reflects a low near-term exploitation probability.
Technical ContextAI
WP DataTable is a WordPress plugin authored by 'samsk' that provides configurable data table rendering within WordPress posts and pages. The vulnerability is specifically a DOM-based XSS variant (CWE-79), in which unsanitized user-supplied input is written into the Document Object Model by client-side JavaScript rather than being reflected or stored by server-side code. This distinction matters operationally: server-side WAF signatures may not intercept DOM-based payloads since the dangerous concatenation occurs entirely within the browser's JavaScript engine. The CVSS S:C (Scope Changed) metric confirms that a successful exploit crosses the trust boundary from the plugin's own execution context into the victim's authenticated browser session, enabling session theft or unauthorized action execution. The affected version range is all releases up to and including 0.2.7 as documented in EUVD-2025-19406.
RemediationAI
Update WP DataTable to a version beyond 0.2.7 once a patched release is published by the vendor. The specific patched version number has not been independently confirmed in the available data; monitor the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp-datatable/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-datatable-plugin-0-2-7-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability for a confirmed fix version before deploying. As a compensating control, restrict the contributor role to fully trusted users only, reducing the pool of accounts capable of injecting payloads. Deploying a Content Security Policy (CSP) header with 'script-src' restrictions is the most effective technical mitigation for DOM-based XSS, as it limits inline script execution in the victim's browser even when a WAF cannot intercept the client-side payload; note that an overly restrictive CSP may break other legitimate plugin functionality and requires testing. If the plugin is not actively used, deactivating and removing it eliminates the attack surface entirely.
