CVE-2026-3619: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in tonyh-1 Sheets2Table
The Sheets2Table plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'titles' shortcode attribute in the [sheets2table-render-table] shortcode in all versions up to and including 0.4.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Specifically, the 'titles' attribute value from the shortcode is passed through S2T_Functions::trim_array_values() (which only trims whitespace) and then echoed directly into HTML via `echo $header` inside a <th> tag in the display_table_header() function without any escaping such as esc_html(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-3619 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Sheets2Table WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to 0.4.1. The issue arises from improper neutralization of input in the 'titles' shortcode attribute of the [sheets2table-render-table] shortcode. The attribute value is passed through a function that only trims whitespace but does not sanitize or escape HTML entities before being output inside a <th> tag. This allows authenticated users with Contributor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the context of users viewing the page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher privileges can inject malicious scripts into pages using the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the injected pages, potentially leading to theft of session tokens, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires authentication, but it compromises confidentiality and integrity of user sessions and data within the affected WordPress site.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and avoid using the 'titles' attribute in the [sheets2table-render-table] shortcode. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor that address this vulnerability and apply them promptly once released.
