CVE-2024-9595 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the TablePress – Tables in WordPress made easy plugin, affecting all versions up to 2.4.2. The vulnerability results from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of table cell content, enabling authenticated users with Author-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required at the level of an authenticated author, no user interaction needed, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patch or remediation details are currently available from the vendor or other sources.

An authenticated attacker with Author-level or higher privileges can inject malicious scripts into table cells that execute when other users view the affected pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of the victim's session, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity of user data. The vulnerability does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the TablePress plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
