CVE-2024-13566 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP DataTable plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 0.2.6. The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of input in the 'id' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when other users access the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring privileges but no user interaction. No patch or vendor advisory is currently available.

An authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject stored malicious scripts into pages generated by the WP DataTable plugin. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. The medium severity score reflects the need for authentication and the potential for cross-site scripting attacks.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, limit Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the WP DataTable plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress plugin repository for a security update addressing this vulnerability.
